Brownie 8 - 8mm Projector - Need a bulb, would this example work?

[Donald MacNay]

Good morning/afternoon/evening,
I've been tasked with converting 8mm film to digital and have what presents to be a functional Brownie 8 projector that has no bulb to guide me.
Your expertise in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards.

Hi Don,

Welcome to the 8mm Forum!

DFN/DFC 125V 150W Projection Lamp

This US based seller has the DFN/DFC lamp for $75.00 US Each. This is a little more than the $63.43 Canadian on Ebay UK, but then again shipping from North Carolina to Ontario HAS to be less than $30.80 Canadian as stated in the E-bay auction.

I feel confident recommending this seller, as a matter of fact it's the second time to Ontario just today!

Thank you, Steve, with the $41 USD shipping and the exchange the pre-tax amount is $168 CDN with that US supplier. That's why I was trying to ascertain if the UK supplier product is a match as it is less than $100 CDN.

Jeeeeze!

I had no idea that shipping to Canada costs that much! (For heaven's sake: you and I share a state/provincial border!)

Generally speaking, if you can match that three letter code, the bulb will be electrically/mechanically and optically compatible.

Thank you, Steve. Happy New Year.
