Probably pretty well known already, but just in case, if you dig these sorts of restoration videos, be sure to check out Hand Tool Rescue.

Would it be wrong to bulb swap it with an LED array?

I’ll see your LED array and raise you a rechargeable Lion battery.

Bonus, it is a video by the channel who sent MyMechanics the lamp.

At this point this is restoration for beauty and function not preservation for value and accuracy. Do what you want and enjoy the thing you have.
