    1976 Streamlight rechargeable ad

    I bought an SL-20 a few months ago that was still in the cardboard box though showed signs of use. IIRC, the instructions shown in the ad were the same cut-and-paste style Abtomat mentioned. I'll dig through and see if I kept a photo.

    High Standard Model Ten Shotgun with light 1968

    Thanks for posting that. Richard Roundtree used a High Standard M10 in one of the "Shaft" movies in the '70s. I don't recall which version he used. I think it might've been in "Shaft's Big Score."

    Brisbane area (SEQ) get togethers?

    The last time Lightemup and I met for a light test, we damn near froze to death. I'll hopefully be stateside from late November-early February, but if not I have a couple of SureFires and Streamlights to bring.

    The local Woolworths had three of the new Mark VIs, all in yellow. Didn't get a good look, but it appeared that the adjustable stand was missing. Priced at $17.95 each, plus another $12 or so for the 6V alkaline 4F.

    New member w/MagLite quetion

    Most public safety supply houses like Fox International, Gall's, or Chief Supply stock replacement bulbs, batteries, and charging cradles. The MagCharger and Streamlight SL-20X (non-LED version) take the same battery, and you can often find generic ones in the $10 range, vs. $30 for the factory...

    When will quality flashlights hit the mainstream public

    lctorana and M@elstrom, things in Brisbane aren't much better. Lightemup and I visited a couple of surplus and gunshops last week. SF G2Ls were in the $130 range; slightly less for a G2 incan.

    Totally green in this matter. Every-day use rechargable flashlight?

    How about a Streamlight SL20XP-LED? http://www.streamlight.com/product/product.aspx?pid=89 The polymer case makes it easy to carry, and combined with the rubber gripsleeve will still be comfortable to hold in cold or wet weather. It has a decent enough spot beam plus three LEDs for up close...
