I made a similar enquiry to HistoNet about 2 years ago
and got 3 spot-on answers in less than 24 hours. The
SCI.MICROSCOPY newsgroup came up with nothing. Newsgroups
aren't much use any more, becaues of excessive spamming.
Good luck! You may get asked to specify a few more
details, because AO have made more than one model of
microscope. If you've got the old bulb, any numbers etc
on its metal base will be henormously elpful.
A firm called Micro Lites (Scarborough, Ontario) supplies every
bulb for everything, in 24 hours. Their slim, simple, free, printed
illustrated catalogue shows up the Internet as a retarded dinosaur!
No, I'm not a MicroLites shareholder - just a customer glad to have
got his bulb the next day on 2 occasions.
