This is my original 7-UP can light from around 1971. My original bulb was broken long ago.
These 7-UP can lights were made popular by Mazeppa Pompazoidi (Gailard Sartain) on his late Saturday night (really Sunday morning) "Uncanny Film Festival and Camp Meeting" show in Tulsa. He called the lights "Gizzer Blinkies!"
I had searched online for years to find a replacement flicker bulb and recently discovered the company that made the bulbs in the 70s and was able to purchase a rare original bulb.
