[Shop-talk] Replacement florescent bulbs F42T6

[eric at megageek.com]

Ok, this is a literal 'shop talk' problem, as this bulb is in a showcase 
in my shop (antique and collectables shop)  8>)  I hope there are no 
problems posting it here.  But I know there is better knowledge here than 
me.

So, this showcase has a florescent light bulb F42T6.  (42" and T6 
diameter.)  Which is a weird size length and very narrow, so I can't get a 
bigger diameter bulb.

Now, this bulb seems to only be available by price gougers, (Chosen Supply 
has them for a mere $2,443.92.) 

Since this is in a active store and I can't easily remove the display case 
to modify it to fit something else, is there any other alternative for me?

What I was thinking is they may be a LED replacement bulb that will fit or 
something?  Anyone know of such a replacement?  Or a quick and easy drop 
in replacement mount?

Also, I may be closing the store in the next 6 months, so I don't want to 
dump tons of cash into this.

BTW, if any of you are in NJ and check it out and see something you like 
in there, call me (number is on the wall) and it's yours for free! (I need 
to move inventory!)

Thanks.
