Keep looking.... I bought a few packs of bulbs @ 45 pence the five bulbs by
phone from a little camera shop where I was buying a 30.5mm lenshood and a
49mm filter by mail.  I also get packets of bulbs from camera fairs off the
junk table for similar prices. The flashguns I bought are small Agfa bulb
guns with a folding reflector the size of a tulip flower (PF1) also an
Olympus AG1 gun the size of a matchbox.  There is somewhere out there a
genuine Nikon bulb gun with a foldaway reflector the size of a saucer and I
am still looking.  I have some Magicubes too but the only gun I found was
too green inside to buy.  The bulbs need to be cheap because there's quite a
bit of testing making sure the flashgun is reliable when adapted to modern
batteries.  Philip

the only source I've found for flash bulbs is a bit pricey; too bad they
don't make them any more.
