Need indicator bulbs & can opener

[Skeleton Man]

I'm looking for 120 - 145V Dual Contact Bayonet, indicator bulbs for the flavour buttons and correct change light on a cornelius squaretop.

They look as follows:



I tried an electronics supply store, they could only order them in boxes of 10 @ $6 per bulb !!

I found an online store that has what I need, but they want $9.50 per bulb !!!!!!!

I need about 5 or 6, but will happily buy a box of 10 if the price is reasonable (under US $2.50 or CDN $3.00 per globe)

I'm also looking for a can opener for the front of the machine as it's missing one..  (it's definately a can opener and not a bottle opener, not sure of the difference)

I've looked at your pictures post at you link...sorry to say it is really just the bottle opener spot, it's missing the crown-puller (bottle opener) itself, so at one point this machine was a bottle vendor & then was converted to being a can vendor, there is no can opener, because it's from the era of "pull-tab" cans. not the earlier type that vended steel-top cans (your had to pierce them with your "church key" as my dad used to call the can opener) I found my bulbs for my LaCrosse machines at Lowes & Menards, 2.99/2-pack 120volt/DC contact, 10watt . also check at your local sewing machine centers, they're used in the little lights on my wife s sewing machine too.

I just figured it would be a can opener coz the machine only vends can, and what's left of the schematic references a can opener.. but obviously not..   I suppose it's just a matter of putting a different rack inside to vend bottles or cans ?  (mine comes out easily with about 4 screws)

I found the globes I'm after at TopBulb.com $2.76 each and I can buy individually ! (found nothing on lowes website, and menards I couldn't even find a product catalouge !)

I just notice that you are from Canada, eh. '>
Do they even have Menards in Canada, or are they just a Mid-Western US store?  Do you have a large hardware/home improvement store in your area you can check?

I don't think we have Menards..  The closest we have would be Home Hardware or Canadian Tire..  neither carry the bulbs I want.. they both carry only 12V automotive ones..

I can find a lot of stuff on ebay, but I'm still waiting for something I bought from the states 3 months ago !! (there's very little listed in Canada)

Skeleton Man,
 Try Graingers, they will have the bulbs. What part of Canada are you from. I was in Alberta, Edmonton last year.

I'm from Mount Forest, ON..  Is that store US or Canadian ? (assuming they have stores here ?)

Looks like they do have Canadian outlets with what I want.. $4.44 is a little steep, but better than $6 a peice..
