This would be good to ask over in the incan section..
I'd say welcome based on posts, but it appears 1 & 2 took 7 years...lol
Welcome back?
Can you post a photo of said bulb? It may be that Phillips made/makes one like it.

I feel welcome here. The kind of thinking and ideas that go on here are the kinds of things I admire. Innovative thinking in an "open source" forum. I have, since signing up "7" years back -seems longer, purchased and modded an Apex Pro, when it broke, I found out here that they had great Customer Service, they said send it back for repairs- no charge. I said I could do the repair myself, if it was all the same. He sent the parts. Next time it broke, he sent a new replacement. Wow
I've built some good lights and bought some real gems- including a a Eveready Captain Lantern #153WB mint in box. It uses a flat 6V 520 NLA. It does accept a standard 6V Lantern though.
Ray-O-Vac Sportsman's Lanterns- the ones that sit on a 6V battery, and hunters and competing models, big fun at campouts when folks have to go in the middle of the night. It's funny, people always ask about them.
Sorry, I can be a lurker, but you see how I am when you get me started
.I'd love to post a pic, but the bulb is missing.
Thanks,
Ed

Cool story.
How about a pick of the light? Maybe it'll strike up somebody remembering "oh yeah that one"...
Here are a couple of the flashlights/lanterns. For some they may not be 'collectible' grade, but I'd rather snap up what I find cool, when it presents rather than hoping I run across on in better shape later.
Enjoy, thanks for any help on this bulb I need.

All steel miner lamp with remote cord for hardhat wear. 3D batteries. The chrome handle extends for hand carry, or down for hanging on a nail or pocket. There is a belt clip on the side. It's heavy duty. I may remove the screw that holds the bulb socket and replace with a modern maglite #D bulb.

What I do is use any old screw bulb, remove the old globe and solder in a new Mag bi-pin bulb, then secure with white epoxy. I have done this for quite a few screw fit old torches - really brightens them up.
