He could probably get the local GEC agents to import the bulbs
for him, that is IF they are still being made -- and we're not
too sure about that -- but the price!!!

Five or six years ago they were talking about $300 per bulb.
Fortunately he managed to get some from a collector, brand new
and only $5 each. But now he has only a couple left.

To save the bulbs, he now starts up the projector on a variac and
warms the bulbs gradually before bringing them up to full power.
It seems to work -- he hasn't blown one in over a year.
