Greetings.

   I have an old Eastman Kodak Brownie 8 (model 10) movie projector,
and I'm trying to find a replacement bulb for it.

   I've already called Kodak and GE, and GE doesn't make the bulb
anymore.  But I didn't know if someone might have one in their
basement or if they might know of a place that stocks old obsolete
bulbs.

   The information on the bulb is :

	ASA Code BMA
	150 watt
	115 volt
	S-11 bulb
	CL-8 filament
	Double contact base

   The bulb is mounted (soldered) into a base that has a reflector
on the back it.

   Looking at the bulb from the side, it sort of looks like this :

                            /  ---------
                           /  /         \
                          |  /           \
                          | |             |    Light projected
             Reflector -> | |             |    -------------->
                          |  \           / 
                           \  \_________/
                            \    |   |
                             ===========
                                 |___|
                                  " "


   Has anybody seen any bulbs like this?  Any idea where I might
find such a critter??

   advTHANKSance (very much)
