Thnanks for all who responded.
Its an older bulb,and was bought at the same time of the Vivitar E32 enlarger,probably
1966 or so. I
have a tiny BR for my darkroom and the light source is about 3 feet away. I probably
could
set it up on
the toilet seat which would get it away from the bulb around 7 feet.
Nothjing on the box,but Ilfords site suggests the 902 filter.
A bulb would be better for the time being,but not having much luck finding one on a
Canadian camera
store site.I'll keep trying.
Oh and Norm,i labeled it OT as it was not operator system related.<vbg>My way of being
funny.lol
