replacement dial light idea!
#1

Hello Everyone,
I am finishing up on my Arvin model 664A that was restored years ago by me.
One of the things that I want to do is to find what would be a good substitute for the dial lamp which is night light type bulb .
It is just too bright and produces to much heat . I worry about the Dial cover warping again .

Good news I found this LED bulb from Amazon     

I wanted to post this to let you guys know that this bulb works well and does not interfere with the AM radio band .
Figure this LED is using a capacitor dropper instead of electronics circuit .

Sincerely Richard
H
