(ET) 36v bulbs

["Chapin, Tim" <tchapin bf umich edu>]

You can get dual contact 36v bulbs from a fork truck co.  I bought some
a while back. 

Here are 2 email, 1 for the dash bulb and 1 for the head lights.

Hello group,
  I purchased some 36v dash bulbs from Radio Shack. Part number:
RSU-11385994.  They were 79 cents apiece. I bought four to make it worth
the shipping costs. They do not carry this bulb in stock so you will
need to order it at the store or call 1800-442-7221 and order them over
the phone.

A list of Hyster dealers can be found at http://www.hyster.com/dealers/
I intend to call the one in Columbus Ohio Monday and see if I can get
the bulbs.
Thanks for the information.

"Taiwan" and the code "SP5".

Yes and no. I bought some 36V bulbs that are the same size, but don't 
have the dual base - ie. one side of the filament connects to the socket

and hence to the frame, unless you isolate it; which I was able to do. 
It also meant changing out the socket contacts to a single. It was an 
interesting excerise and it works, but is too much trouble. I haven't 
seen a 36 V isolated (dual contact) bulb.
