There are some really cool vintage and hacked use build ideas going around the forum of late, and I love it.
I came across this old Everyready Captain 2 cell flashlight today in a junk shop, and thought it would make a beautiful host...but which diode to pick? Copper or polished aluminum heatsink?
Here are the pics. They are not mine. I used some etsy site's as I didn't buy it yet.
The guy wanted $8 for the flashlight, and it was in nearly as good condition as the one in these pics. I waffled, but I think I've talked myself into it.
Let's see more thrift store builds out there!
