Default Different Radio dial lamps

These two different style lamps pertain to the 65,66,67 AM versus AM-FM radios.

The question came up recently as why the more common AM style “radio dial lamp“ does not fit correctly into an AM-FM radio.

The design of the AM lamp socket is to deep to clear the inside of the AM-FM internals.

So, if you decide to add the optional AM-FM radio, you may want to find the shallow lamp socket.

Shown below is a 66 AM-FM and a 65 AM radios.

Vacuum gauge lights work well for the AM FMs
