# 42 lamps

Does anyone have a box of # 42 lamps they'd sell me for the "tunalight" on my Midwest in a US made brand?

Amazingly, Radio Shack does have a selection of the #4X series lamps.

He was looking for U.S.A. marked bulbs. I do have a collection of 20 or so #42 U.S.A. bulbs, but I'm not really interested in parting with them. I will part with 2 or 3, though.

I bought the bulbs at American Science and Surplus. They had a huge box containing packages like the one I bought. Seems that either there are multiple radio enthusiasts in the area, or one really greedy pack-rat, as a week later they were all gone, and someone bought all of the 50c red pilot light gems, too (like you find on guitar amplifiers). I can't see someone profiting much by selling them on eBay. They don't seem to move too quickly. Someday we'll see an auction for a mass of radio crap stored in some Milwaukean's home. .......Or.........maybe some guitar repair shop bought them. That would make sense.
