i thought i had those but  i dont.
i reverted back to using 120v to power the lamp but now i can say "lamps".

i found the original bayonet bulb at lowes which the base is equal to an automotive 1156 bulb.... but i am using small screw in bulbs now with new sockets all soldered in and working.

two issues
-the left lamp is too close to the case and even with my metal tape on the interior to mimic the original design on the right side, the case just gets way too hot.  i will have to rework the lamp location or use a smaller profile bulb.  both new bulbs are 15watt,, the original single bulb was 45watt.

-the lower half of FM went goofy again,, i dont think i will ever have the smarts to fix it but FM 93 on up is golden even with no rabbit ears attached.

here are some pics of the final work to properly light up the unit like i think it should be. now atleast both knobs light up well enough and the dial glass is a tad off kilter on illumination but good nuf' for me.
