Thanks! I don't think anyone currently making LED substitutes are making anything for 2.5VAC applications. I also have not seen any miniature screw bases in these lamps; Pinball Life only has miniature bayonet, made for 6V DC or 6V AC/DC.

If you are really handy with miniature parts, you could make your own. It would take a large frosted LED lamp, a diode to rectify the AC to DC, a small resistor to drop the 2.5 VAC voltage to 2.2V, and a miniature screw base from an old lamp. It's not something I want to try at the present time, though.
