Where do I find a reasonable priced bulb for a film strip projector?

[classiccaprice]

Here's a random one fellas, I rescued the old film strip projector being thrown away from my school along with a few film strips. I turned it on and the bulb immediately died! Where on earth do you find a film strip bulb nowadays? I looked on the internet, but the one I found was kind of pricey. Help!

If you have a Habitat(forHumanity)Restore in your area you might find an old projector bulb there. Occassionally I see them in various second hand/salvage/thrift stores and there is
always Ebay. Retail they are quite pricey.

Best hope might be

for New Old Stock at a camera store (if any still exist around you), or an Audio-Visual supply company, (likewise.)

Or, did you try Googling?

The bulb number is a 3 letter code. What bulb do you need? Prices vary a lot. For many of them you can do an ebay search for the 3 letter code. Lots of schools are cleaning out their closets now, now is the time to stock up on projector lamps.

try

googling for The Library Store. I think they still have them. Coincidentally I've got a 70's model Dukane and consider it a treasure.

Those bulbs are pricy. I still order some for overhead projectors and the like here at work. I order from Corporate Express/Staples.
