That's exactly what I was thinking Steve. Yes, I could have taken it apart to measure it with a VOM, but I was fairly sure it was 110-125VAC. I just didn't want to take it apart now, and have it down until I could obtain another lamp for it. Even though the original light is working you can't see it from above. You have to be down at eye level, which basically means on your knees on the floor. I'm constantly forgetting to turn the power switch off because I can't see the dim glow when I'm standing in front of the mill.

Rather than replace the original neon bulb and light pipe with a LED, I think it would be easier to replace them with a 120V panel mount/pilot light. They come in neon or incandescent styles and can simply be soldered to the board.

Something like this:
