If a light bulb ever stopped working, there was a light bulb repair kit. You would open up the light bulb, replace the filament, put the light bulb back together, suck out all the air and then put the light bulb back into service. The only consumable was the teeny tiny filament.
I would very much like to see any pictures or links or references to that or things like that.
Hey Paul I found this post and figured I'd give it a update I came across a guide that in my opinion would be rather easy to do and replace any filament. I would imagine it could be hooked up to use a CO2 cartridge to fix a homemade bulb. I would suggest a better filament
as well. www.instructables.com/id/Homemade-Lightbulb/?ALLSTEPS
