Hello

For the magnetic compass type B-16 of "The SNAFU Special" I need to find a replacement lamp Mazda CD3 (323) 3v, .19amp, T 1-1/4, Kollsman base like the one on the picture below.

Any idea where I can buy one?
Thanks for your answers

Might want to try this place:

I got an odd light bulb for an old magneto synchronizer there. They may be able to cross-reference to a modern bulb.

Thanks for your answer but this is a very specific bulb which cann't be replaced by a modern one. It's a kollsman base and it's only one piece. the bulb, the front part in black, the screw.. only one piece.

They're around. Were used on old airliners as well.
