Dave
I don't have an answer for you, but the last time you posted about this you did get some good feed back. This is the link to that thread. I hope this is of some help.

about a good scroll saw

Sorry Dave, I cant help you, Im not familiar with your saw.It does seem like you sure have a rough go at things, from ornament swapping, to subscription fulfillments, to your scrollsaw light bulb. I hope things start working out for you soon.Try just hanging a light over your saw, even if its just one of those $3 lamps you can buy at TSC for warming chicks, just put a regular bulb in it, and get back to enjoying scrollsawing.

I use to have an 1680. I put a 40w refrigerator bulb in it. Held up pretty good.

I used to have problems with my craftsman blowing bulbs all the time. Then I figured out that my saw was vibrating too much and would work the bulb loose and it would blow. Check to make sure your saw isn't vibrating too much. Just a thought.

If you are using a standard incandescent bulb, had you considered switching to something tougher like a garage door or ceiling fan bulb? They are designed for high vibration.
