Glad ya got it finished maelstrom...hope the extra filters and parts come in handy for repairs down the road. Is this the final set-up, or are you puuting a higher powered LED in there?
Hi folks,
New forum member here. I got a couple of these torches an early one (DT-10S/F) and the latter MX-991/U with switch gaurd.
From the original post I thought the he was talking about the positive contact which appears to be missing in the first picture. I've taken the liberty of posting a couple of photos below showing what it should look like, but since he got them working he may already know, but still ...
Here's what the positive contact in question looks like
Hope this info is of use to people.
Regards
Paul

I could never understand why they put the switch gaurd on the later models, all it does is get in the way of the signalling mode
Ahhhhhhah! You have one of those Orange Fulton Knockoffs too.Thankfully it's completed now, I don't find non-functioning collectibles as appealing... so for me it was worth the effort, here's that comparison shot with a TL-122 "knock-off" straight away you can feel the difference (though visually they're virtually identical), thinner/lighter plastic construction is definitely less robust, even the beam is of lower quality (poor focus)
Nice score there P&G, the rippled clear reflector is simply a diffuser (redirecting light to a floody type pattern) and can be used in conjunction with any other filter you choose. :thumbsup:
Oh and yes you appear to have the complete kit of alternative filters, AFAIK Fulton have never supplied a green lens like many of the anglehead copies now on the market seem to have :thinking:
Fulton was very kind to send me new gaskets for my MX-991/U. Now it's perfect except for a few dings from my Army days!

They're pretty good actually. I've seen a few different knock offs, some are really cheap. This orange dealy, you can run a Metal Fulton reflector in it making it more modifiable. The original reflector is half melted at this point.
Glad to have finally found some Fulton lovers on this site. I've owned alot of lights, my trusty Fulton is still my go to light.
Yeah, I've had to repair the switch. Sadly the Fulton does have a weak link.
Here are some of mine. I have to more not seen here. Featuring a cameo appearance of my Hotwire Mag11/85 in the back and my Xenon Surefire wannabe EDC across the front. You'll notice in my pics, the switch rivets on all 3 lights have been replaced with screws as I've had to repair or adjust the switch on all three.
All Lit up.
Mr.Orange is running an HPR51@8watts with a 2x18650 Li-Ion Battery Stick.
Mr.Black is currently running Overdriven HPR44 @ 9Watts w/ 2x26650 Lifepo4 batteries.
Finally Grandpa Fulton, which I've been through a similar rebuild process with is running an early 3watt Mag-Led modual w/ 2x 12000mAh NiMH D-Cells.
Pictures of said batteries.
Actually, Fulton did supply orange and green filters with the gray-straight bodied navy/aviation lights (N42's)...where do you think I got mine??? LOL! Check out http://www.fultonindoh.com
