[SML] Advancing development of a new flash for antique cameras

[Bill Conner]

I found a lot easily on ebay and amazon.  Even at $2-4 each, seems to
easy compared with developing something that will have some costs all
the while preserving the "historic" camera gear.

Well - a second look - what else -
http://www.flashbulbs.com/BulbPrice.htm  They happen to mention they
have flash bulbs for all polaroid cameras.  Of couirse it's teh
internet and may not be true.
