Good Evening!  I’m restoring this radio, and the dial lamp needed is a Wards #62-5517.  It looks like a tail light from a ‘60’s automobile, bayonet base with one contact on the base bottom.  The lamp that’s in there is a GE #1633, rated at 6.8v and 1.3a. It gets its power from the 6.3v heater windings. I always thought that the lamps current draw should match the tubes current ratings. Is that correct? I can’t find the specs for the OEM Wards lamp, nor can I find a bayonet based 6-7 volt lamp in the 300ma range.  Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Joe
