It's the 'pop' that bothers me. Even if the filament feed is opening up, I would not think it would cause a pop, the sound would simply fade out over a few seconds time. The pop speaks more of a B+ type short. This is what is confusing.

Also, the dial light flickering is not unusual for these old radios. Try removing the lamp and cleaning the base. Make sure the tip is clean and not too flattened. Also, be sure your socket isn't split down the side, this would keep the lamp from making good contact.
