Author Topic: Looking for rare 35mm projector bulb Scott Stark Film Handler Posts: 8 From: Austin, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2015 posted 01-28-2019 12:14 PM                     Not hopeful about this one, but thought I'd throw it out there. I'm looking for replacement bulbs for an old, weird St. George 35mm desktop projector (made in Hong Kong, who knows when). Lots of Chinese lettering on the projector and bulb box, but it's a 30V 400W bulb. I had trouble uploading the JPG of it, but it's here: http://www.hi-beam.net/temp/35mm-bulb.jpg Anyone know of a place that might have such a bulb? I tried topbulb.com and another place, both failed to find it. (I'm also hoping for a 650W version.) Thanks, Scott  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 01-28-2019 01:17 PM                        Looks a lot like the bulb my office desk lamp used. Low and high voltage versions available at Lowe's and Home Depot. Probably not a 650 watt version though...  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 01-28-2019 04:22 PM                     You might be able to adapt this one: [URL=https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-3M-78-8001-3143-1-A-Sylvania-FEM-400w-120v-Projector-Lamp-Bulb/361934963196?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20160323102634%26meid%3D7d5265a5cf2b466f96b3214d5d666019%26pid%3D100623%26rk%3D3%26 rkt%3D4%26mehot%3Dlo%26sd%3D371524412899%26itm%3D361934963196&_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1]Link[/URL] URL code won't post properly here.

(Though most of those have shorter poles, but maybe I can work with them.) I may also try and find someone who can reconfigure the projector for more common bulbs and voltages.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-29-2019 01:31 PM                     I posted it for you.
