Speaking of Oshino Lamps, I had a phone call yesterday with their German 
branch after I had inquired them for a distributor; I saw the OL-345 on 
their web sites so I thought I'd just ask them.
Well, it was very "interesting". First question I was asked: How on earth 
did I undig this oooold type. Well, it is on their web sites, I told them.
Huh, well, it may be listed there, but they don't have them as active in 
their system. The last time they sold the OL-345 was 15 years ago. They 
"could" ask Japan if they had some in stock, but for 100 pcs I could just 
forget that.
Another question: does it have to be the exact same type? And so on...
So my conclusion is that they don't have/produce/know of the old lamp 
types.
