Hi, does anyone know where I can find a lamp for a Bell & Hollew Model 122L REGENT projector. I have asked at Van Eck but they don't have it. The model is P28s, 120V, 500W, Philips 6152C/05 - ANSI: CZX / DAB. Thank you.

Hello Maurice, No. I have that lamp and it doesn't work. I found this one that I think will work for me https://es.aliexpress.com/item/40001...b8ac3c2fdf7-19Comment

I have just seen a photo of your Bell & Howell projector and I now realise that it uses a lamp peculiar to only Bell & Howell. It locates in position with a spigot (a pin). The detail on the Van Eck site is incorrect.
The projector uses an A1/87 lamp at 110 volts and 400 watts.
Here is one:-

Is this your projector?

I think I might have one or two of these. I’ll have a look and get back to you.Comment

The earlier models used a 400 watt lamp.
In 1946 they were made in England. The latest model was the Bell & Howell 606 H. By now they used a 500 watt mains voltage (240) lamp.
I have one of these in my collection. The special lamps are very expensive, but I was lucky to buy a few when Lee's Cameras were still in business.

Sorry to raise your hopes. Had a look but no A1/87 lamps. I do have many many old stock lamps if anyone is looking for a particular one.Comment

Hello again, That is indeed the projector. It uses a 500W lamp. I also have the 606H model. I will look at the link you send me. Terry, it is very interesting to know that you have lamps because I am missing some in my collection of 8mm projectors. You are very kind. I will keep lookingComment

Both lamps will work. They are for the 8mm Bell & Howell. You will see the spigot (pin) used for locating.Comment

Ok. Thank you very muchComment

I have written to the seller and he tells me that he doesn't think that the 500W will work for me as they have different measurements, what do you think?Comment

I did not notice that the Mazda 400 watt is an A1/87. This will not fit.
Have you got the original spent lamp? This will enable you to measure it to confirm that a replacement lamp is the same size.
I am of the opinion that any lamp which marked as an A1/47 will fit.
I have just checked the spare lamps for my 606 H and they are certainly marked A1/47 and are 500 watt.Comment
