I have not yet tried the LED lamps with clear dome lenses, but I do have some of the LEDs with frosted dome lenses, and they are very good - a bit brighter than an incandescent #44. Do keep in mind that the lenses are larger than the glass bulb of a #44, in case clearance is an issue.

This morning, I aligned the 41-758.

Yesterday brought good news and bad news. The good news is that I found the original dial pointer.

The bad news is the chrome grille. I managed to break one of the grillebars. Fortunately, J-B Weld seems to be working to correct the issue. I reglued two of the pieces last night, and they held together. A little while ago, I finished gluing the thing together. We shall see tomorrow if it works out.

Yeah, I know this isn't the Cabinet forum, but I also installed new grille cloth this morning.

This is one of the patterns that John at Radio Grille Cloth Headquarters used to sell. While it probably isn't exactly like the original cloth, it is better than no cloth at all (which is what it had when I bought it). Actually, comparing this to a poor quality original Philco illustration of a 41-758 (see below), I think this cloth is a pretty good substitute.
