Yeah, my 7H920 Zenith also has a 120V candelabra bulb.
Had some challenge finding one for a reasonable amount, but succeeded.
You should see what this thing did to the cardboard behind it (some genius put it there; let's just say it is charred) and the lightpipe (those acrylic circles inside the dial space). Yes it was supposed to be a lightpipe. Pretty advanced for its time. But this bulb melted and browned the end that is the lightpipe's face where the light enters, and...well, it no longer can be considered a lightpipe.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
