A piece of equipment needed a socket replaced because of carbon tracking inside the socket. The new one is a little smaller in diameter, and the wire is 60 years old. I guess it doesn't look too bad, and it made the device work again.

Is that a lightbulb I see you're using as a resistor?

Yes. A lot of this type of signal generator used a bulb as a PTC resistor in the oscillator circuit. **
