I've had one of these Victor radios for about 40 years. It worked when I got it, but I think I had to replace a 45 along the way. It was one of the first radios in my collection and it also needs a dial face, so thanks for the info on that.

Mine had a burned out bulb and I just used a white 9-watt outdoor Christmas light. You could use a clear one for less heat but it might not light the dial evenly. It takes intermediate base 120V lamps, which are between candleabra and regular light bulbs.

Yes the design is unique. It's probably the oldest working radio in my collection. A very heavy old beast too.
