Since these lamps have been discontinued since the mid 60s, it will probably take many decades to find them. Good luck on your search. You might be able to find a /X mercury vapor lamp at a ReStore if you are lucky enough.

In addition, a 1000w H34 clear mercury vapor lamp, and a 425w H40 mercury vapor lamp is just as rare as well.

When I first came on LG 10 years ago there was sylvania purple stain /x lamp on Ebay that thing nearly went for 200 bucks.  At that time I was working for peso almost.
