This is frustrating. I have two of these bulbs in my hand, out of the markers from my Airflyte, but age has removed any marking to be able to give you a number.  EDIT: Further examination with a bit of bright sunshine, a good magnifying glass, and a younger set of eyes than mine showed the markings still legible.."GE 57" imprinted on the bases. If I might suggest, there are replacement lights available. It might be easier replacing them than trying to find bulbs, and then find out the socket is defective, or unable to get a good ground since it has been taken apart. Vintagetrailersupply.com has them here: www.vintagetrailersupply.com/Teardrop-Marker-Light-p/vts-214.htm |

guess i will be put on the wait list for one I called and talked to someone who works at the company. He said that they have been discontinued for over a year now and that they are in the process of manufacturing their own. He said they should be back for sale this winter. So I imagine the wait shouldn't be too much longer. |
