Reply to Technics SL-1200 Stylus Illuminator LED

I own a couple SL-1200MK2's for which I want to replace the incandescent stylus illuminator bulb with LEDs. I was able figuring out the circuitry from the SL-1200MK5 service manual. However the OEM blue LED (RXQ1012) is over $15 which defeats the purpose of replacing the light bulb in the first place. Therefore I was looking for a cheaper equivalent LED but could not figure the voltage and current. Does anyone have the specs of the blue LED?
