Thanks for the tips. I ran over to the local Menards and found a couple 25W clear bulbs. They also have 10W and 40W, but none are frosted.

The power switch has three positions created with two toggles for a very nice feel.
I had assumed one position had the radio on without the cabinet light and the other had both the radio and light on. Actually though, both positions power the light and radio. Looks like it's really a local / distance toggle ?
