I'm going to throw a curveball in this thread, just something a little different, but definitely radio related. Enjoy
My restored EICO model 324 signal generator.

pretty neat. never seen one with a light in it
Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift

I have a Eico model 324 and it has a light in it .,. I thought all of them have lights in them.. If you have one maybe the bulb is burnt out.

My favourite dial is also quite plain... I just love how it looks. 1935 Philips (NZ) P516
And my favourite coloured dial. 1936 Airline 62-316. I just wish they'd thought harder about the shadow plate for the band indicator - its a round metal disc so half the band names are not (ever) illuminated.
And the most frustrating dial I've restored - a Courtenay model 95 DW. The dial was toast from UV or age, not sure which. I began recreating it by hand, pixel by pixel over a scan of what was left... and eventually taught myself some tricks along the way... 2 years later, I had a passable impersonation.

Wow Steve, that is awesome! It amazes me when one makes something from nothing! Looks super!

My 1937 Grunow Teledial model 588 gives off some sweet dial candy with the dial light mounted behind the dial pointer....

This dial is from my latest console, A Marconi model 85. It is 9 1/2 inches across. I had to make a new dial cover for it out of plastic.

This is a Deforest Crosley model 10-60, Cannaught.
It has no dial, just a moving light that travels around. In short wave , another light of a different color moves
around.

Here is the lit up dial of my 1933 Zenith 617. The shadowmeter is there, just not closed very far.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need.
As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
