RCA 15X
#1

Everthing goes at once, maybe it's the cold weather, I have had 2 dial strings break and no my little RCA is having dial light issues. I did the easy thing and swapped the bulb when the existing one did not light. So the replacement is slow to light, then flickers, and out. I don't think its the socket, most of my #51 bulbs are from pulls, so could be bulb. 

Thinking of cleaning and a little gun oil on base of another bulb, I have a few 35Z5s, I could change out the rectifier and see if that helps, Clean the rectifier tube socket? The set is recapped and been playing awful well. Small problem, any thoughts?
