Looking for a Kliegl RSC lamp socket for their #3518 8" Fresnel. The contact has burned up.
Any ideas?

Sure looks like a Sylvania S12 socket. It doesn't appear to be made anymore as I don't see it in the catalog. Maybe a theatrical supply company would have some old stock.

I think you've nailed it. Looked in my 6th and 7th edition Sylvania Lighting Handbooks and found the picture and description. Have started the search. Thanks!
 
I think the current option might be an S2 socket. I can't find anything on an S12 socket.

Looking at the spec. it seems like S12 had a max. wattage rating of 2000W, and S2 is only rated for 1500W.

S12 hasn't been in the Sylvania/OSRAM portfolio in over 10 years.
