    This is the standard glass for the Optimus 200P and 1200 from about 1957 on.

    Hi, no it will not fit. This will:
    GLAS KLAR 75*100

    I recently bought 4 cylinders att the eBay powered Tradera site for the price of 395 SEK + domestic freight, so not so rare here in Sweden.

    Regards

    Thank you for the link, I was not aware of that supplier. It looks like they also supply some handy spares for other lamps to.
    Best regards James

    Hi i have an old optimus 1200 my grandpa gave me last week . It has no glass he said that he didnt fire it up for atleast 40 years. (thats when electric came to our village back in turkey) would you know if it would fit? I merseured it but came to about 92mmX110 maybe ive merseured it from the wrong place. Any info?
