Here is an olde. Does anyone know where to get the old 117volt heater elements that used to be in room reflective type heaters. Also incubators used them. I can remember them as a kid in the neighbors chicken house to keep the chicks warm. They are made out of ceramic and are a long thin cone taper in shape. The nichrome wire is wraped around the out side. This thing screws in to a standard light bulb socket. Look on Ebay at item #230909582801. This is the room heater. I need a few of them to build something. Thanks folks Jeffcat

You are looking for an "Edison base cone heater" element.

Punch the link for an outfit that still sells them.

Sounds like what I have sitting on a shelf in the other room. Cone shape with a wire warped around it and looks like a heating element in many electric heaters

Those are the ones I use in a nut dryer and a food dryer. WOW,, they sure aren't as cheap as they used to be. But, what is? A friend has a couple of these on his motor test station for testing electric motors. I don't know of any other type of heater that would screw into a regular light socket.

WOW WOW!! Yes thanks guys this is them. Boy they do cost a little bit don"t they! I want to have a couple to screw into a "tester" for when I show my old generators at engine shows. Should be impressive after dusk! I didn"t know they came in a bunch of sizes. Just make sure you don"t touch!!! They bite. Thanks again! Jeffcat

In all my days I have never seen those things. Looks like they could be a little dangerous to have around children.
