Can anyone tell me the correct type of lamp to use in this radio? I have installed a #47 lamp (6.3V, .15A) for the dial, but it just doesn't seem to be bright enough. I get the 'pointer' beam from the lens which looks pretty good, but there isn't enough light coming through the window in the rear screen to really illuminate the dial area around the pointer enough to read the numbers. The bulb is positioned behind the dial correctly.

Is there another bulb type that is brighter, or is the problem that my dial has aged and has become more opaque?

Thanks
