Cameras/AG1 flashbulbs

Question
Hi,
I am a science teacher and I have a lab that uses AG1 flashbulbs. I would like to buy a camera that uses these flashbulbs to show the kids. I thought I would search on ebay to find the camera--this seems easy enough. What I am having trouble with is finding a list of cameras that use these flashbulbs. I do not need a complete list--just the names of a few cameras that I can search for on ebay.
Thanks so much,
K. Hoff
Hi Karen,
If you just want a camera or two (or more...) that will set off your AG1 bulbs for some sort of demonstration, I can send you some cheapie plastic ones. Contact me directly at silver@well.com and let me know where you are and exactly what you need.
Best wishes,
David Silver

Expertise
I'm an expert on all types of antique, classic, and contemporary cameras, as well as the general history of photography. Everything from ancient box cameras to modern single-lens-reflex; from simple Kodaks to sophisticated Leica and Nikon; from glass plates and roll film to movie and 35mm. I can identify and appraise them, explain how they work, and offer insights on their restoration and care. I can also provide historical background on vintage cameras and equipment, and guidelines on their purchase and sale.
Experience
I've been a professional photographer and a student of the history of photography for nearly 30 years. During that time my collection of vintage cameras and photographic paraphernalia has grown beyond 2000 significant pieces. I've published nearly 70 articles in the field, including 16 in the popular "Buying Classic Cameras" series for PHOTO SHOPPER MAGAZINE from 1995 to 1997, I'm currently a contributing editor for CAMERA SHOPPER MAGAZINE and McKEOWN'S PRICE GUIDE TO ANTIQUE AND CLASSIC CAMERAS, and I've written numerous entries for WORLD BOOK ENCYCLOPEDIA. Portions of my collection have been displayed in museums and special exhibits in the past two decades, and many of the items were photographed as illustrations for books. In 1985 I founded the International Photographic Historical Organization (InPHO), which eventually evolved into its intended purpose as the best first resource for information on the history of photography. I'm also a founding member of several e-mail forums dedicated to specialized areas of photography, and I'm the moderator of the Internet Directory of Camera Collectors (IDCC), which remains the largest and most successful such group in the world.
