[sci.electronics] argon

jps@wucs1.wustl.edu (James Sterbenz) (01/27/89)

Does anyone know if argon lamps are still are manufactured or even
available?  I would like to replace an argon bulb, I beleive the 
type was AR-2 (it had a standard screw base, and the same shape as
a NE-40).  In general I'd be interested in any source of rare gas
lamps.

I can't find any argon bulbs in last year's Newark Electronics 
catalog.  Several people responded to my recent request for a 
source of UV fluorescent tubes (THANKS; replies wouldn't go to 
all).  Here are a couple of promising sources that I received:
