I was thinking of trying these in sets with back lit plastic dials that are notorious for the dials developing burn marks. This can happen with some Rogers dials when someone uses a replacement pilot bulb with the wrong length of envelope, the bulbs fit through large grommets trhough the back at an angle. Another set notorious for pilot lamp problems are the Philco 46-1201s, it's very easy to situate the pilot lamp so it touches the back of the plastic screen, but now you can get a C7 LED replacement in Walmart so that isn't a problem.
Regards
Arran
