Hi all, could not find an answer to this anywhere so here I go.
I have a Valiant I am rebuilding. I noticed that my Valiant does not have the light bulb or socket for the left indicator light (looking from front). The one I see in videos and pictures as a power on light I suppose. There doesn't seem to have ever been a light there, just the jewel lens in red. In the Valiant construction manual (I have 1956) it is not shown, talked about, nor are the parts for it in the parts list. Is this something people just add on? Or do I have an odd ball?

The left jewel lamp......not the VFO internal lamp....for some reason was not installed at the factory or in the kits.
Some of the left jewels were green...and in my opinion, should be instead of red.
I added a lamp holder and wired it to the adjacent VFO internal lamp.
This make a nice power on indicator that should have been included with all the Johnson transmitters.
I have (2) Johnson 500 transmitters, a Ranger and a factory assembled Valiant.
I wired them all as above.
The Valiant has a green jewel from the factory.
