I have just finished restoring a Dac 90A for a friend and substituted the dial light bulbs with LEDs and the crumbling rubber channel with bicycle inner tube.

I have cut off the glass from the blown bulbs and soldered a diode and LED (mellow white) on the base of the old bulb.

For the dial rubber channel I cut a strip about 3mm wide along the edge of the rubber tube and replaced the crumbled channel and it looks fine.

Hope it helps.
