The availability of bulbs for projectors is
astounding. When I overhauled my Zett 150
projector six or seven years ago, I was able to
walk a block from my office in Roanoke and find a
bulb for it. The projector went out of
production in 1958, I believe. I have a Zeiss
Ikon negative viewer from 1937. I had to rewire
that one, and when I looked around for a bulb,
well, I did find out that one was no longer
available -- but my local hardware store knew of
the problem and sold me an insert and the modern
replacement bulb for, as I recall $1.75 plus
tax. (That hardware store later got sold and I
doubt that the current staff would know of the fix!)
But, yes, projector bulbs are available. Last
month, in an off-List conversation, a friend
challenged me to find a bulb for my 1939 Revere
movie projector. Google coughed up dozens of sources ...
