Hello!

So I have this Kodaslide Merit slide projector--but the bulb is dead. I know from reading the engraving on the bottom that it can take 100-250V, 150W bulbs (tungsten, I believe). When I went off to buy a bulb I found out that there are many kinds of bulbs and codes, there being no code on the light bulb itself, I have no idea how to continue.

Any help, please?

There doesn't seem to be any info on the compartment or the entire projector itself except info telling me that it's a Kodaslide Merit (mentions a MOD. I but I don't know if that means the bulb) and that it takes "100-250 VOLTS AC OR DC 150 WATTS." No user manual to help me either, unfortunately.

Adorama sells them for a bit under $10 with free shipping

Searching the site that George linked to, it seems there is a specific reference to a CDS bulb being suitable for your projector:

At $53.00 for one bulb, you may wish to consider looking for a used Kodak Carousel or other more modern projector which uses more common bulbs.
