I am in the market for several of these and see them for sale at train shows, but can't locate a source for the screw in electric lamp converter that replaces the kerosene burner assembly. I have Google different ways and all I find is history or great buys at flea bay for caboose lamps, but nothing for who makes the electric lamp assembly. Someone must make it, as I have two caboose lamps that came electrified but converter doesn't have a manufactures name on it that I could find.
Suggestions?

Those are converters for Aladdin mantle lamps, not what Sam needs. However, there are electric burner adapters on that site that may work.
The picture in Madison Kirkmans post looks exactly like the ones I have in both of my caboose lamps. I have bookmarked this entry for future reference.
If you it's mantle lamp converters you need you might try these folks, they may be cheaper:

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the link to these sources, also bookmarked. Curious what phrase you Googled in, as nothing I put in got "me within a mile" of these places.
Sam,
I've collected quite a number of Aladdin caboose mantle lamps over the years. I don't remember exactly how I originally found those sites, probably just "aladdin parts". I've ordered parts from both and gotten good service. Both sites also have interesting history and "how to" information.
Try also Handlan-Buck in St. Louis I think. It has been awhile but I bought from them several years ago for a restaurant I was with.
