(I have sent this to a number of people that I know and I decided to also post this on my blog.)
Many reading this are connected in some way to a school or a church- you particularly may be able to be of help in a very practical way.
DYS is an overhead projector bulb that is now very difficult to get.
Specifically it’s the small DYS halogen 600 watt, 120 volt overhead projector bulb. They were made by Apollo.
Our little church has not “graduated” to “Power Point” yet. (Sometimes I think some of us are too dependent upon Power Point, but that’s a matter for another time.) Our (circa 1988) overhead projector works fine and is still a great tool.

Up until around 2004, the bulbs were easily available at any Staples store.
I’d always have at least one spare bulb available in case the projector bulb
blew at an inopportune time. In mid-2004, I went to Staples to purchase a DYS overhead projector bulb only to learn the store no longer carried them in stock. I was told I could call a toll free number and have a bulb shipped.
Between 2004 and 2006, I ordered 2 or 3 bulbs from Staples’ toll free number which were always delivered within a couple of days. A couple of weeks ago, the overhead projector bulb blew out. We replaced it with the spare bulb we had on hand. I called Staples toll-free number and learned that Staples no longer
carries them. I was given the name of a supplier to call. I called the supplier, but I was told I could not order them because they only sell them to retailers. I was also told the price of the bulbs have gone up...now $32 (at one time were around Hi! (I’m sending this to a number of people that I know and I will also be posting this on my blog.)

I’m aware that a number of churches and schools have either replaced their older overhead projectors with new ones or they have replaced their older overhead projectors with Power Point. There may be DYS 600 watt, 120 volt halogen bulbs laying around on shelves in schools and churches which someone like me could really use. (Warning: the bulbs are usually kept in clear plastic cases. NEVER touch them with your bare hands or the acid from your hand will ruin the bulb.) If someone has a small DYS 600 watt, 120 volt halogen bulb which you’d like to donate to our church. we’d be most grateful. Our mailing address is: FIRST ASSEMBLY OF GOD, P.O. BOX 4702, FRAMINGHAM,MA 01704. For shipping, use my residence: Rev. Bob Baril, 40 Harrison ST, Framingham, MA 01702. I can be reached at my office at 508-875-5030. Maybe you DON’T have any DYS 600 watt 120 volt bulbs but you might know someone who does. Would you please e-mail that person and ask them to check out this blog entry? Thank you.
