Thanks. For me it’s just not having to think about replacing the bulb ever. Plus less heat behind that dial which may save the paint.

I got a C7 bulb this morning and recapped this. Works just fine. I need to redo the dial string, check over some resistors, but progress. I’m still puzzled where this dial light is supposed to sit. It’s mounted on a piece of cardboard so maybe it just lies on top??

The remaining issues are touching up the black paint on the case and replacing the dial glass which seems somewhat worn.
