naw,, nothing like it..
its like the base of an 1156 automotive bulb.

the oem single socket i would like to keep and duplicate that on the other side of the speaker but there is no room for something of that size.

i took the radio apart again today and finally got to replace my .0005 cap. apparently that repair made my lower FM bands come right on in so all is looking realy good. this set is too nice to have in the garage, and its a really great player. the wife wants it in the kitchen for rock station on FM.

i am tempted to feed 120v into a wall wart power supply that sits inside the chassis then the output will be 12vdc,, i would use the existing light feed path for the wall wart power supply ,,, then i can use smaller automotive 194 bulbs / sockets and i can use yellow to complement the intent of the yellow "ish" riings around the knobs.

what i do know is that the 120v pair of wires to the oem bulb need replaced, they are all really cracked.

using 194 bulbs will be 80% smaller than this big old bulb for sure.

then again, i know laying a wall wart power supply
