The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Phono related as these are bulbs I’m looking for to complete an early arcade machine that uses and Edison phonograph as part of the workings. AND, a lot of phono nuts collect old electric bulbs, too, I’m looking for several like this, in various colors. Green, red, clear, whatcha got ? I only need a couple but would glad to have spares. Look at the paper labels and the filament when lit, as I’d like them to be similar or the same. I can be reached easily at Tmorsher@icloud.com Glad to pay your price for the time and trouble.

This looks pretty darn close for the blue one:

Going back many years in theater history- These bulbs of whatever wattage you wanted were sold clear and were hand dipped by the purchaser in colored lacquer to suit the purpose. Maybe that would work for you even though the filament configuration might not match ?

Thanks george. I have some of those but much too bright.
