Thanks, Mike.

I rebuilt the dial lamp socket assembly (two sockets on a common bracket) last night. The barrel-shaped parts that hold the lamp in place had both broken off at the bracket, so I glued them back together. They seem to be holding together OK. I used heat shrink tubing to replace the old plastic insulation that had surrounded each socket, and installed two LED lamps.

Today, I tried the radio out. Unfortunately...no go. Everything lights up, but there is no sound save for a very faint hum. When a radio won't even pick up my SSTRAN at 660 kc, I know something is wrong.

Well, the troubleshooting will begin over the next few days.
