[R-390] Intermittent Dial Lamps R-390A

[Tisha Hayes]

Interesting problem. Would have thought that the filaments would be taken
down too. Thanks for the info.

Aren't we lucky that some crazed engineer did not use the light bulbs as a
substitute for the ballast tube? I had a radio that used the dial lamps for
a voltage reduction scheme elsewhere in the receiver. When I changed the
dial lamps to brighter (higher current) bulbs it ended up affecting receiver
performance. That took a long time to figure out.
