Well I bought this tower in farly good shape but I believe the Bulb/heater is burnt out.
Anyone know how I will obtain one that works with accessory? Any links or recommendations appreciated.
Thank you.

Bulb to purchase is Number 430. 14 volt I read on line. Who here has a couple of them? Thanks.
Another question: would anyone know if it's a Large globe bulb or regular size globe ? Thanks.
I use the smaller bulb, I have 3 of those towers, they all work great with the smaller bulb. I’m always worried the big bulb would start to melt the plastic base. Trick is to get the bulb centered right on the base of the bubble tube, this lets the light go up the tube really nicely, and I get quick bubble action.....hope that helps.....Pat
Are these 430's the same as those found in Lionel postwar 022 switches?
Btw:thank you for your response HARMONYARDS
I can’t remeber what’s in an O22 switch to save my soul.....my Napa auto parts store keeps 1449 bulbs in stock cheap, they are screw base, 14V small globe.......I think that’s a GE part number.....don’t hold me to that.......I just know them as 1449.....
