I've searched all my resources and I can't find this bulb anywhere. It is out of a Harbor Freight bench mount drill press that doesn't have a model number that I can find. It is a 110v 5w 15mm bayonet base double contact.

I'd IDEALLY like to replace it with an LED, but this incandescent bulb has lasted 25 years and I don't think I'll last another 25, so incandescent will do. Any suggestions?

Probably a reach but you might call these folk. I've found lights at this place that you don't see anywhere else. I'd say it's worth a call

aHA, so BA15D is the base style. That's good info, and a google search showed up that there are dozens of suppliers. Evidently this is a standard sewing machine bulb in a lot of the "offshore" machines on the market. Lots of LED replacements also. Thanks for the info.

This LED lamp from Mcmaster looks like it may be the correct one: https://www.mcmaster.com/#8620k1/=1dq3l7k

While digging through my light bulb bin I came across this...

I have no idea where I got it or for what purpose. :D
 
Looks like a old car bulb.

Ah, the 115 volt option found on a handful of postwar Chevies. That starter sure could crank over the engine on cold mornings. Though the battery was expensive to replace.

Looks just like the bulb I replaced from my overhead light with the red lens. Cherokee 140
 
Jim, I assume the drill press would be used in the hangar for the plane? Hope you bought a certified bulb for drilling certified holes. :D
