    Since no one else has mentioned it, I will just say that in Europe most people used the Philips names for bulbs, so instead of M3 they said PF1B (B meaning blue), or PF5B for extra oomph. The Tilt-a-mite certainly looks as if takes M3 (PF1) and AG-1 bulbs.
    This guy seems to have a lot of bulbs:

    Holland was the right place to get Philips bulbs!
