I know many people will have removed the lamp that sits above the main table on early 36's. I would like to keep it functional as a backup light/heat source but the hour glass for the lamp is broken and I have had no luck tracking down a replacement that fits the lamp. Anyone know where to get this?

On my 1984 Mk I there is a gimbal-mounted lamp in the V-berth above the hanging locker. No lamp in the saloon, but a previous owner installed a bloody great hook on the cabin top, so there may have been at one time. I'd offer you the glass from the lamp forrard but it's not in my possession, sorry.
By the way I just moved into Peninsula Marina so we are neighbors I guess!
There are quite a few C36 owners in CI harbor who are active on this site. We should do a cruise in the spring, or sometime soon!

Duncan,
I'm pretty sure the lamp was installed by a PO, and not at the factory. I just did a search on the Defender site for lamp, and came up with a bunch of hits. The most common type of oil lamp they showed was Weems & Plath, and Defender carries a bunch of replacement globes. Perhaps you can match the dimensions of your globe to either the Defender site or W&P site for a match?

If you "GOOGLE" Light Chimneys you will find several web sites that offer globes including Home Depot.

Ours came with a Den Haan trawler lamp. Not sure if it was original equipment or not. Westmarine ( & other marine suppliers) has replacement parts for those: http://www.westmarine.com/buy/den-haan--replacement-parts-for-brass-lamps--P007_210_005_500
Here's the manufacturer's site:
