I checked with Autozone and O'Reilly's Auto Parts and neither of them had the bulbs, at least not under the GE-1829 name. The people I was talking to on the phone didn't sound like they were qualified to look up something by specifications, but who knows. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn occasionally. I'll go down there and see if I can get more accomplished face to face.

We have a company in my town that specializes in bulbs and lamps. They didn't have the 1829 in stock, nor was there a slot for them in their inventory. They did have a slot for the 1819, but were out of stock. The guy spent some time and located a 24 volt version, amperage unknown. He said it should work, will burn brighter, but won't last as long. I'm going to pick up three of them. Anyone see any inherent dangers in using a bulb designed for a slightly lower voltage? Not knowing the amperage of the bulb prevents any calculations to predict what might happen.
He gave me a model number on the bulb which is 24MB, but didn't know the manufacturer.

What's a radio/tv/repair shop?
Just kidding. There still may be a few of these around, but try and find one that has been around for at least 15-20 years. The newer ones will not stock these bulbs either.
The same thing may be true with the auto parts stores. Try calling one that's been around for a few years, not one of the new chain stores.

Wow, I guess I've taken for granted that any auto parts store would have them. Maybe I've been buying really old stock. Maybe the parts guy will have to open his big book and order them. I think the last time I bought some they were .90 each.
I think I go buy what they have left in stock.
