i'm also thinking of replacing mine, are the bulbs the same on the late and early model clocks?
iirc I used t10 501 bulbs like these on my old early model clocks....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-4-LED-T10 ... 2339dc3ea3
i'm not 100% sure tho.

I used some 7w Cree LED's but they're longer than the standard lamps.
I fitted them with a cable tie round the rubbers so that they couldn't seat fully home, but only after I'd snapped off the little "lid on a stalk" bits which stop the lamp or LED lighting more in one place rather than evenly across the dial.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
