Go to Radio Shack and get a series of colored LEDS and clean up the solder joints on the board and solder a new similar (Same Color) in the through holes. Watch the polarity. Some upper scale electronic stores will tell you the type of diode it is and sell you one.
I occasionally fool around with electronics.

Bob, I already did that (went to RS and got an assortment) but they had various voltage ratings and sizes. Also they are all 2-3 times larger than the one I am replacing. How would you determine polarity anyway? Thanks.
