32 degree on these; superbrightleds.com does not offer the 6V 4-LED lamps in 90 degree.

They are available for much less $ here:

Plus, Pinball Life offers them in "warm white" as well as "cool white."

The beam angle is not specified for these, however.

32 degree is fine if the lamp is facing the dial. For Philco sets with the lamp at right angles to the dial, you would want a 180 degree LED lamp - and hope that it's bright enough. The 120 volt lamp I used in my 42-761 is a single LED 180 degree bulb, and it isn't bright enough.
