Found a set of NOMA Twinkle Lites (1956), unfortunately whoever last owned it left 13 incorrect replacements (C-6 cone). any idea where I can get these little flasher bulbs? they're made by GE and are 6v. there are 7 remaining to the set, one is burned out, other 6 work great.

Are these the little tubular shaped flasher lamps like those found on the transformer sets?

no, shaped more like the miniature version of a C-7 bulb

Thank You

I shall in a bit here. mind you that the last owner replaced 13 of the bulbs with C-6 cone lamps. :\

Here are the pictures.

I'm a bit too lazy to make a layout, but did label each file appropriately. there is also a 644KB movie file of the remaining 6 flashers (one is dead) in action. have fun

EDIT: ISP is intermittently closing port 80.

Thank You....

So which ones are the Flashers the Clear Colour or the other ones?

did you check out the .AVI (video) of the bulbs in action? it's quite awesome.

the 6-7 clear ones at the top are the original flashers that were made for/came with this set. the other 13 are standard C-6 cones, meant for series lamps. they glow dimly since they're meant for 15-16v use, but are only getting 8v from the transformer.

It's meant to play using Windows Media player or Winamp

That Doesn't work eaither {Windows Media}

Hemingray · « **Reply #11 on:** April 19, 2005, 01:33:50 pm »

do you have the latest version of Media Player (Ver 10). If you're still running 95, Winamp 5 will handle WMV just fine.

No...
Because when I tried to update it caused a 'puter Crash....

So God Knows what's wrong with it?

erk, first thing I'd do is scan for malware (Use ad-aware, Spybot SD, etc). if that doesn't help, back up your personal data, format and reinstall Windows.
