Hi Ron,
Well, I wish I had a better answer for yuor bulb question but I don't.
Here goes, The bulbs are still made and available from a wholesale
electrical house. To find them is another question. If you were to
walk into a electrical distributer, BTW these are who the public can
purchase through, he will hand you a book. The book is about 1" thick
has about a zillion different types of lights in them. It is not
organized by style, voltage, or part number. You have to go page by
page to find the right bulb. Which I might add is not stocked locally,
but in milwalkee(sp?) or Patahuchie or somewhere you are not. The hard
part is you are ordering from a catalog and must pay in advance. The
product may not even have a picture.
To make a long story short, I know too late, Try Moss. You could try
Norman Nock British Car Specialties in Stockton, CA. I don't know where
he gets his lamps from but that is where mine came from. Let me know if
you his number.
Let me look around for the curtain screws, I may have the short version
in my screw bin. You did know there are two different lengths didn't
you. They both work fine as far as I can tell.
