Zenith 7H920 AM/FM set 7 tube
#29

ok,, this thread would be worthless if i did not at least entertain a modification due to something i see wrong in the original design as far as looks go.

this set has an interesting feature that when the light comes on,, the yellow translucent plastic rings behind the knobs light up a warm yellow.
currently the light only illuminates "boldly" the right half of the dial indicator & the right knob.

i want to do dual bulbs, one on either side of the of the front of the chassis.

i need to measure what the voltage is to this single huge bulb and has a keyway like an 1156 automotive bulb.
the current bulb is like the old 70's christmas tree lights,, the big glass bulbs and its a single contact but dual elements inside. i think the bulb says its 45watt,, there is no pn on the bulb.
