Hi uploaded a few photo's of said torch "link"

Thanks, Harry.

We have been told the answer, so I won't interfere any further.

[ although, if it was mine, I would put a suitable LED in it ]

Update after checking various website and a few phone calls I could not source a 3v bulb so I followed MichaelG suggestion and fitted a LED soldered it onto the base of the old bulb have to say it much brighter than the 3v bulb. Thanks for all the info.

Cheers H

In the gentlest way possible!

He's a character who wanders up to people doing things and start 'you don't want to do it like that…" – disaster ensues.

And far too late I just recalled an old surgical system i found 40+ years ago that was illuminated by a tiny bulb from 'the chicago miniature lightbulb company'… and google tells me they are still about…

could be a source if you want to go back retro
