Something I have come across while researching my radio in preparation for restoration..

I have found 41-290 chassis with different band-indicator mechanisms.
Some have individual bulbs to indicate band selection, and others have only one bulb with a rotating shroud to direct the light to the proper band indication.

I imagine at some point, they decided that the simplicity of multiple bulbs wired to a band-switch wafer, was cheaper and less likely to fail than the mechanical complexity of a rotating shroud.
