"Inherited" a really old lensometer/vertometer from one of our docs who was going to toss it out because it no longer lights up. Checked everything over and found that the wires on the light source had worked loose and shorted out. Re-soldered them in place and macgyvered a new holder for the socket. Bulb is toast however and replacements are difficult to come by. My question is, would it be possible/advisable to re-wire the whole thing and put in a battery powered LED light source? The old wiring is just that... OLD. I'm afraid that it could someday short again and cause a fire. An LED light source would eliminate the heat and the worry about a fire, but I'm concerned about any effect on the accuracy of the readings.
