Please See Picture #2 & #3. In the DARK, Orange Glow Does show through the Knob. This is NOT MARKED 6 or 12 VOLT. Current Bulb is a #51. Judging from the Bulb, It's a 6 Volt Switch. Tested & the bulb Does Light as it should. The 12 Volt Replacement would be a #53 Bulb. Mount under the dash with a Mounting Bracket. This can be Dash Mounted using the Supplied Nut. Knob: Looks like Bakelite. Very Cool Color. Color: COFFEE with Darker Shades. This has a Marbleized Look. Turn the Knob, there are 2 Positions / Clicks. After the Clicks, Operates as a Rheostate Control. The Switch & Knob are Very Clean & Shiney. There are NO Cracks, Scratches, Dents or Pits. Looks to have a Nice, Aged, Vintage Patina AS IS. May need more cleaning, New Owner can decide this. Personally, I like the Patina on the Knob. Not Marked 6 or 12 Volts. May Work fine with either. I Tested this switch with a Ohm Meter, & it Seems Fine. Switch turns Easily as it should to all positions.
