[Boatanchors] Re Coloring Lamp Bulbs

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

For those of you who have the need to color a lamp in your Hallicrafters, or any
other electronic item, here is some information that should prove very useful.

Hello, Duane.

Your friend may find it even easier to locate than I did.  I
heard about it some time back on the good old Hallicrafter's
List, and found it at Ryder's Hobby Shop.  I doubt if Ryder's
have got all the way to California yet, but the paint
actually comes from Japan, by way of California.

The product is "Tamiya Color Acrylic Paint".  The hobby shop
has it in a 10ml size (which will color a lot of bulbs!) for
$2.  Now, just don't try to convert that to dollars per pint,
or none of us could afford it!

Luckily for your friend, it is distributed in the USA by
Tamiya America, Inc., 2 Orion, Aliso Viejo, California 92656.
Their phone number is 949 362-2240.

I really like the way it works.  It's clear as a bell, and
one dip leaves the bulb fully coated with brilliant color.
