This is a 1" clear round18 volt bulb that NOBODY [READ] NOBODY makes! Does anybody know a source for these? I have looked everywhere and come up empty. These bulbs look great in the old Prewar 13" double globe street lights. Those so called new fangled style bulbs just don’t cut it. Thanks
Have you tried jeff@ttender.com or his web site and get his number and call him
You might be looking for the wrong lamp. The number 40 is much smaller, only 13/64 inch or 10 millimeters in diameter, tubular not spherical, and rated at 6.3 volts, not 18.
I see a “No. 40” lamp described in the 1929 Lionel catalog as 3/4 inch diameter, 18 volts. That is probably what you are looking for. Does the lamp post have a miniature screw socket? The only G-6 lamp with that base that I can find is the 157, which is a 5.8-volt 1.1-ampere lamp. There are several with candelabra screw bases at various voltages, however.
