Great to see you got one mate, especially one in such good looking condition. Got to love the beam "pattern".
One of theses wouldn't work, would it? https://www.niteize.com/product/LED-Upgrade-Kit-C-D-CELL.asp
Something very cool happened. I spoke with my father and sent him a picture of the flashlight to see if he remembered it and giving it to me. He told me not only does he remember it he knows exactly where it is and has even used it a few times in the last year. It is on its way to me and I will soon have my original light back! I thought it was long gone and had no idea he had it so it was a very pleasant surprise.

Excellent thread Cap I love the first few pics explaining the circuit - so simple!It's also a nice looking torch. Do you have any pics next to a SAK or something for scale?Nice ending too with your dad sending you your original
I forgot to add. I found a LED bulb online that should drop right in.
Cheers Cap The torch has a great vintage look to it and will be brilliant with an led bulb. As you will have a spare will you EDC this one?

Then the light that is in excellent condition that I do not want to use or put the LED in. So I really need to find another that I will use and put the LED bulb in. I know, I'm insane.
