light bulbs for unusual microscope

[Tina]

Hi
I thought I submitted a question on the board about 20 min ago but cant see it there so at the risk of repeating myself, I will try again.
I am wondering if anyone can help me find a light bulb, bayonet style, chiyoda 250v/25w, that is long and skinny. Glass part is about 45 x 20 mm and the metal fitting is about 18x15 mm.
I need it for a video light microscope that plugs into and displays slides onto the tv. It is a panasonic microscope, model wv CL 350/A with meiji written on it and it is at least 12 years old. The microscope was working well right up until the light bulb blew and now I cant find any suppliers who stock that kind.
Any ideas?


Thanks!
Tina

Hi Tina,
Have you tried a place which I think is called New England Instrumet Supplies (or maybe Repairs)? It's on Bridge St on the opposite side to Big W about another block away from town. We sometimes go there for obscure items.

Hi Rosalie
I rang them straight after I got your message but they don't have any.
Thanks anyway.
