    Hi Fred.. that tuning system is as you said.. The light gets dim when you are on a station and brighter when you are off the station.. Some thing that most don't know about this system is that the bulb is a 24 volt 3.5 MA .
At the moment I can't remember where I got mine .. I did buy it on line from a supplier. Right now my computor is down so I don't have access to my favorites and that is where I have the name of the company I bought it from.
If I remember correctly, the MA is quite critical for it to work properly.
      The rogers 6F7M tubes are hard to find , but I have a fellow in town here that says he has a few.. If you like I can see what he wants for one.
