I have the HT70 cabinet. I am missing the bulb guard and was able to source one locally. The cabinet it was harvested from was painted and lacked an identiplate. My cabinet does not appear to have the mould lines in the socket like the donor machine. Anyone have a picture of a correct HT70 bulb guard so I can compare?

Thanks for the link! That is the bulb guard I got but the socket on my cabinet does not have the grooves in the socket for it to sit in. I wonder if there is a different guard for my cabinet. Scratching my head.

Not all bulb sockets had guards. You could have a 1933 cabinet or the last of the 33 sockets in a later cabinet.

Well then it appears that I have a bulb guard that I can re-home.

So were the bulb guards only made in 1933, or was that just an example, Travis? It seems very inconsistent how you do and don't see bulb guards in different years of MT.

Paul,
The light in the cabinet was new for 33. The guard for the light was new for 34.
GE was frugal in manufacturing, so you often see slight variations. I suspect there were some last year’s parts used on current models.

That doesn't surprise me. I've seen variations on cabinets that are supposedly the same model, but these variations were also for the same year even!
