Hi Adam, ESCs are hard to come by these days, so a true ESC you'll probably only find as NOS on eBay...
There are two readily available alternatives that I know of - the EJL which is the same spec except for the filament orientation. The CC8 filament on the original ESC is better at hiding the filament shadow, but I've used the EJL and ELC with acceptable results. The ELC is a HOTTER bulb and introduces a risk of overheating and a more significant risk of overloading the transformer and bricking your GS... * Most new lamps I've gotten have the faceted reflector rather than the original style smooth reflector, but this hasn't caused problems for me... There is a link to 1000bulbs.com below, but there are other online lamp shops that will stock these. I used to rely on purelandsupply.com, but it seems they no longer stock EJLs...
