Jameco Reliapro ACU120100D0531 AC to AC Wall Adapter Transformer 12V @ 1000 mA Straight 2.5 mm Female Plug, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B8861T2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_51v3DbGAW1DGG
This is an AC to AC adapter, but can’t guarantee the plug fit. You may need to do some surgery. If you aren’t comfortable doing that, I’ll keep looking for more of a “universal” option.
If you had the original and could post a photo of the label, it’d help a lot.
Dickens Village has the most Tudor houses, specifically the Partidge and Pear or the Hampshire Solicitor or the Old Michael Church or a personal favorite, The Smoking Bishop
Something more ornate? How about The Timbers Hotel or maybe Staghorn Lodge or maybe Sir John Falstaff Inn
What else is Tudor? How about The Globe Theater? or how about the Burwicklgen Golf Clubhouse?
Not enough, want something more current? Well, maybe the E. Tipler Agent for Wines & Spirits or Four Calling Birds Shoppe
The secret, IMO, is eBay and a little patience. Good luck!
I swapped the bulbs out for my village with these Brighttown LED C7 bulbs and this cord from the Holiday Lighting Outlet on Amazon.
I’ve got a similar house count and am also pretty particular about the lights. I was a little concerned about these bulbs being faceted and made of plastic, but once the village setup was complete, I found that the light is almost indistinguishable from incandescent bulbs (aside from the heat output of course). The sockets are standard C7 (night light size), so they’ll work with regular old cords.
That said I did also order a cord, mostly because it was a customizable in color, length, and distance between sockets. It has an outlet at the end as well so if the village continues to grow, it’ll support them (up to a max of 120 bulbs if I recall correctly).
Edit: Adding photos comparing the village in 2013 with incandescent bulbs vs this year with the LED ones (of course there’s other changes in the village itself as well):
2013 vs. 2018

(If you decide to use polymer clay for the structures, or just the embellishments on them or other polymer clay items, you might also want to ask questions in r/polymerclay.)
