I've just started the restoration process for the MCS 3275 receiver I recently bought. The first thing I did (after spending hours searching and reading about this particular unit as well as the restoration process for receivers in general), was post a question about capacitors. That thread is located here:

I've decided to create a separate thread focused on the lighting aspect of this project.
The right power meter light is currently out, and I'm not sure how to go about replacing this bulb. I guess I was hoping the bulb would be in a socket of some sort, however that doesn't seem to be the case. I've got some pics to help outline what's going on here.
Onto the questions!
Is this suitable for an LED upgrade? How would I go about doing something like that? Do I just measure the resistance across this bulb and then pair an led+resistor to achieve a similar resistance? What about voltage, would i have to plug this receiver in to test the voltage across the two wires connecting to this bulb? (I'm a bit apprehensive plugging this in while i've got everything in pieces though in theory it should be okay if I'm nice and careful).
Is LED the way to go? What if i didn't do LED, and just got a bulb -where is a good place to get bulbs? any lessons learned folks would be willing to share?
-And onto the pics!!
