What about situations in which a 455 bulb is used as a delay in EM circuits? Can an led bulb work in these instances?

I picked up an Aladdin’s Castle that had a normal bulb instead of a 455 that was part of the circuit for the buzzer and over the top relay. Perhaps the previous owner never got many points otherwise they’d have had to shut off the machine to stop the incessant buzz! Or I suppose it could be used as proof that they scored over 100k.

And what about the poor souls in a few decades who are trying to repair the circuits in an EM that uses a 455 bulb as a delay and can’t find any incandescent 455s? How will they hack it?
