I bent the shadow meter light back into position. I hope the vane movement is OK.

I wonder what type of bulb will fit in this socket ? All mine are either too big or too small.

I have a model 15x and I believe I ended up using a sewing machine lightbulb. It's not frosted but it works well. The 15 is one of my favorite radios. I bought mine 20+ years ago, and apart from my replacing the filter caps, it has never been worked on and it still works great! Good luck on your project!
