Re: [AV Media Matters] replacement bulb

The firm you want is

Tecnhical Lamps Ltd. (somewhere in south-west London).
0181-979 6652 (or in new format 020-8979 6652).

They have more projector and epidiascope bulbs than you can shake a stick
at!

Jim's description  is correct; they are also called episcopes.
