I repaired radio by removing chassis, and cleaning the switch, and all contacts using 'Gold' spray cleaner. I used Sylvania #74 bulbs for dial lights ( 14 volt...perfect match)   Thanks   AL

 I buy my dial lamps at antique electronic supply.  Use contact cleaner on switch and check circuit with a schematic for circuit modification.
