Probably not.  That console style with a full-width lens at the base for fluorescent underlighting was common to an array of models, which didn't all have a light.  One of my dad's aunts had such a similar model dating to the late 1960s or early 1970s.  I found the instruction package in a cabinet above, which referenced how to remove the lens for changing the bulb (obviously a part of the documentation common to several models), which I did and there was no bulb or sockets to support one.

Some had a separate incandescent-lit lens only under the timer skirt, but I'm guessing this one doesn't have that, either.

A light could be retrofitted.

panel light

We had what looks like that exact model for awhile when I was growing up. It did not have a light. If you really think about it I don't think a light that low would be very effective, it wouldn't light the dials and if the lid was open, the lid would block any light from the tub. JEB

( clearing throat )

 

Um, your rationale is good.  In the real world, um, yeah...

 

But, in the overly competitive 1970s world of loading up innocent Americans with as many bells, whistles, and lighted shit,  its not inconceivable.

 

(Shh, Also,  I've had this machine.  The bulb was burned out too.)
