I've been looking for a R39 or R12 25 watt light bulb and can't find
any. Are they some special type of bulb that can only be found in
certain stores?

Yes, e.g. Ottawa's E&P Store,

When stocked in general stores (e.g. Walmart)
special bulbs may be called "stove lamps" etc. It
helps if the store's inventory can be searched
by computer.
