SOLD: Gigantic vintage flashlight

Hey all, I ran into this host a week or two ago, sadly it's TOO big for my standards to make any use out of it...







Note on use of this flashlight: it has a switch that can be turned all the way down for off, middle for "armed", which you press the button above to turn it on, and all the way up for constant on. It takes 5x "D" cells, which I *can* provide if I have to, though i prefer not as it will drive up cost of shipping and add $3 to the unit, as to not lose money on this.

Note on the condition: on the inside of this host there is some rust-like corrosion, though it may be battery acid. The host is made of polished iron or stainless steel, and yes it is magnetic.

Shipping to the US is $3.50, if you're elsewhere shoot me a PM and I'll give you a price.

I have no listed price, make me an offer!

Wow, nothing? I'm not asking for top dollar on this, I just want to get rid of it

With the right reflector you could make a nice HID light from it. Too bad you are in the US. Shipping this thing is really a deal killer.

It might be, I can have an estimate if you like in ~5 hours

Oh dear....dont let rhd see this!

man you could put a small hene in there. with a p/s and batts!

What's the diameter on a small tube? I know length-wise it'll fit

The smallest one I have is a tiny uniphase unit that is only a tiny bit larger then 23.5mm.

I have a thread around here somewhere with pics of it running.

Edit: Here it is. I have a couple of images that compare it to an 18650.

Oh wow, then the host is a bit too big for that one, as it's 1 1/2" in diameter (approx 40mm)

Bump! How about I offer $5 shipped to the US? :anyone:

I'll take it for that price. I'm a sucker for old flashlights for the right price.

PM on the way.

Looks like this is gonna be sold, though I can't edit the thread title on my phone.
