I have just ordered a batch of direct replacement lamp bases to suit the Patt 23/123/ 223/45/264 Strand lights and they will cost under $20 each and this will make it economical to repair these older lights as currently a similar base costs $80 and then you have to re-drill holes to make it fit.Anyone who may be able to use these please contact me.

Right-o.. its just easier

Right-o.. its just easier for me to buy the T lamps though which I why I'd want to change to them. In my eyes an upgrade. Im not entirely clear on your terminology. GY 9.5 bases - The lamp bases used for T- based lamps and those GLB things? Im also confused about :

"the gy 9.5 burn out at a far, far faster rate than p28 bases...A T17 lamp gives you the same light quality and in practice, longer life because of heat problems with gy9.5's"

Wouldn't a T17 have a shorter life with the heat problems mentioned as opposed to a P28 base?

So sorry for the misunderstanding. I won't be needing any new P28 bases, but I have 4 of those that are in good condition that I am happy to either sell or swap to you.
