Restore a Thomas Super Safelight?

[Nokton48]

I was nosing around in the clearance area of the local used photo shop, and I found this working Thomas Super Safelight, along with a pile of extra glass filters. We plugged it in, it dosen't buzz, and the vapor light is emitting light.
I had an old enlarger I'm not planning to use, so with trading that in, I got this unit for Thirty Bucks I know I can use Rosco gel filters from B&H (easiest way for me) to restore this unit at not too great an expense.

Opinions Please?? My darkroom is 10x12 feet.

Best safelight ever made.
If it works, it works. I need to replace a transformer ( I think) in mine but I'm not printing right now so it doesn't matter.
Fix it, use it and enjoy.

A good reference about replacing the gel filters. Easy peasy since B&H stocks 'em.

$6.95 for a Rosco 24x24 replacement gel. Customize by combining what you need.
