Vintage light bulbs

Mark Poss · Feb 19, 2020

I?m restoring an old guide light and I need to find a light bulb for it. The light is a tilt Ray and the bulb is a tung sol 32-320 6 8v. Thanks for any help, Mark

Looking around the 'net, I don't see any old TungSol lamps with a hypenated number like you posted.

What "base" does it have? below is a link to an ebay auction for a "2320" TungSol bulb, it is what is called a "prefocused bulb with a large base flange".

Any chance that's what you are looking for? If so, I believe you can find "2320" bulbs made buy various other manufacturers, as well.

I used to do audio-visual repair years ago, that bulb reminded me of some I used to replace. Out of curiosity I googled some lamp suppliers and was kind of shocked at how expensive some are.

Those are around, - you have to search. Six volt, wide flange mount used in the 1940's. NOS or maybe reproductions are available. I might have one if you need it. Gotta look.

I have hundreds of vintage 6 volt bulbs (new) that I acquired at an estate sale.

If you can post a picture of the style of bulb you are after I will dig them out and have a look.

Bulb # is 1000, rated 6-8 volts. These should still be available at a auto parts store or online. Double contacts, straight pins, 32-32 candlepower.

I had a look, came close but not exactly what you are looking for.

I have 2 the exact same shape, size and pin configuration except they are 12 volt.

Marked;
Eveready Mazda 1124
12-16 V
32 & 32CP

I have another pair that are 6 volt, same shape, size and pin configuration but instead of having the round tabs sticking out on the sides of the base to retain the bulb they have a 3 hole flange attached near the bottom of the base to hold it in place.

Might try looking up some Eveready Mazda bulb numbers, they surely made a 6 volt version.
