With a 7 watt . Bulb it didn't let up of course the battery does not have any power so there's no audio I will purchase a battery to see if that's the problem that means I'm getting power but there's no audio because the radio came with a power mic I have never work with this particular radio wish I had the schematic and diagram also notice that the SWR meter don't move also notice is that the bulbs are not working on the meters can anybody tell me if they had any similar problems have never worked on CB radios have worked on ham radios want to get this vintage radio working if anybody's got any idea please let me know thank you very much sincerely yours kg4acg.73.
