Coronado/Wells gardner
#5

Be careful about the length of the dial bulbs, some of those celluloid dials can get burn marks from using dial lamps that are are too long or too high of a Wattage, I saw an Airline once that had this problem. You would want to use the bulbs with the globe shaped envelop rather then the usual cylindrical kind. Of course if you want to really play it safe use some LED substitutes, they have drop in ones now that require no modification, they run cold and almost never burn out. Wells Gardner made some really decent sets, and oddly enough they seemed to have used a better quality chrome plating then most Scotts did on the chassis.

Arran
