That bulb is a 120v bulb and it is the same bulb as a sewing machine bulb so take a trip to your local crafts store and buy a sewing machine bulb  smile

Thanks!  I was able to find them at my local Sears... and yes, they work great!

Unfortunately, later that day I had an unrelated mishap.

Feel free to read about it here and maybe someone can help.

I got one, a Singer brand and it works perfectly, but it is too long. It's huge. It's so long that it butts up against the end of that metal box and the box gets hot within a few minutes. That's not safe.
I have looked at all the local sewing machine shops and they are all the same size that have the bayonet style push in.
I would order one smaller, but to be honest I don't know what to Google other than 120volt sewing machine bulb and that just comes up with the huge ones like I've already found.
Any ideas?

Hey THANKS!!!
You think that'll work?   Will it pop/blow like the first replacement I had did? This one LOOKS like the original one.
I dont' want to do any damage to the wiring of the machine..that pop/blow thing is wild.. One of the contacts came off of the bulb and stayed on the receptacle when I removed it. I have to remove that still.

This ones the right one for line voltage/120 volts AC, (it only looks like a 12 volt auto tail-lamp bulb!)

Ok, I found the bulb at Sears, it fit perfectly...was a Kenmore brand it is 120 bolts 15 watts..but like the other bulb it gets very hot. very...the metal box is hot to the touch after 2 hours or so and this bulb is smaller and not touching.
120 volts..is it supposed to be 15 watts? oops

That one above is 6 watts and 120 volts. I guess that's it for sure then. I was trying to find one local. That one charges 8.00 shipping for 1 or 1000 bulbs, flat rate. I guess I'll order 5 or 6. just in case. I don't like ordering and not knowing FOR SURE that's it, but so far, it looks like it'll be the one. If DC means double contact, then that looks like the one.
Thanks for posting it!

The bulbs came in today. Fit perfect and work perfect. FINALLY!
Thanks for the link. I was gettin tired of chasing bulbs. Smiley
It's nice to finish something. Now I just have to get the burned off
contacts from the wrong size bulb that "popped" and left the contacts
on the bulb connector.  upside
