If repainted,what is the best hobby colour, primer etc.? The bulbs look milk white matt but cannot find that variant of 600100. Paint strippers and primers are sold in huge cans. Is it worth trying to repaint them or leave them as they are - I personally prefer original colour unless really badly lost. Any suggestions and opinions are highly appreciated. https://www.marklin-users.net/forum/cookies Thank you.

They are out of stock since decades. Today you can buy 600100 and white nail-enamel. Just dip the bulb in the nail-enamel and let it dry. Regards Marksu

Thanks for the bulbs, too.

(05.09.1954) Foto: Manfred van Kampen" Close enough for me!

Just in case you are interested here is the trick. In the early 1950 there were frosted lamps but there are not available any more but it is very easy to make them: * use a regular bulb and a very fine abrasive paper for car bodywork (grade 1000 at least) * rub the glass portion of the bulb gently and you will obtain matte finish as with the old bulbs Cheers Jean
