Mica, to you!

Can't say that, not modern enough -- mica's old as the hills...

Mine has a neat hole in it where condensation has run down the inside of
the cavity and formed a bobble right in the mouth of the waveguide -
which has then made it explode taking the mica with it. Super sparks
there were, too.

Just wait until the bulb burns out! On mine, it were a standard-looking bulb
with a threaded base, tunred out to be a very uncommon diameter. Came down to a
choice in forking out significantly for a Japanese original spare, fitting a
different socket, or leaving it dark.
