Have you considered white LED's?

If you're concerned about keeping it original for collector purposes
it's a bad idea, but they'll last a very long time.

No, I hadn't thought of that. I'm not really concerned about keeping
it "original". I'd rather have it working!

I'll look into LEDs. Thanks for the suggestion.
