[s-cars] 9011/9012 Update - The bad news

[Dave Forgie]

S-gruppees:  I have contacted GE Lighting in both Canada and the US  
regarding the 9011/9012 bulbs.  They were never imported into Canada.  
 They had a private universal product code (UPC) (John Deere?) and are  
delisted, no longer made or stocked by GE (they "fire saled" the last stock
 in August of 2003).  The GE computer does not list any substitutes or  
replacements.  John Deere may have switched suppliers or dropped the
 whole thing.


I have put one inquiry into our local John Deere distributor but seeing how  
its only a lawn and garden tractor store (not the twelve-tired four wheel  
drive articulated tractors of the Prairies and American Midwest), I have no
 confidence of a good answer.   Maybe somebody in farm country USA can
 get better info from their local John Deere distributor.

Another case of unobtainium.  Darn.
