Please give me a price for a complete setup for this 2D stock mag using your 6AA battery setup. I would like everything needed, including info on fixing the switch.
Thanks,
Please see post #1

So if I am reading this info correctly, the next time I put fully charged AW cells in my M*g61, with this new resistance fix I can expect a?
My Mag74 not coming on sounded like a good thing, but flashed bulbs are bad.
Thanks Northerlights for posting the new NTC info... let me know if you find some good ones.
Also NL, if you would be so kind as to give a link or a description of the new pcb you orderd, I think that may help me as well. With the new circut will I have you use a smart charger to keep the batteries from overcharging or will the new pcb quit at 4.2v?
UPDATE: So after draining a bit of the overvoltage from my AW cells (down to about 4.09) I slipped the cells ito M*g61 and.... :mecry: there goes a 5761. I am realy not sure what to even do now. I am not liking the idea of having to undercharge the cells each time I use them but removing my new resistance fix sounds like a bummer too. Suggestions any one?
NL thanks. My PM board awaits your message.
You can do it pretty much the same way and yes, by the design I would say the resistanc is similar because it comes from the friction fit parts and those are the same.Sorry to bring this old thread up again but I have a question: :shrug:
is there a similar switch resistance fix you can do on a C-mag switch?
The switch in my 2C mag only has one spring cup (towards the bulb end), is this normal?
Does the C switch have as much internal resitance as the D switch, or less?
thanks for any answers!

thank you for all the answers!:twothumbs
I plan on building a ROP with the following parts:
- new 2c black mag
- download mag c-tower
- download mac c-ring
- 2x aw lithium c-cells
- fivemega 8.38mm hybrid mop reflector
- pelican ROP high bulbs
I've ordered two litemania chargers for the aw cells wich automatically shut off completly at 4.2 Volt.
I already have progold and deoxid.
I've also got some thermal grease (compound, non-adhesive) for use between the c-tower and the inner walls of the mag bodytube as well as in between the inner walls of the mag head (bezel) and the outside of the reflector. On both paces there is almost no gab existent without the thermal grease (a fraction of a millimeter) as the parts (reflector and c-tower) have been designed to dissipate as much heat as possible to the flashlight body (away from the plastic parts of the stock switch assembly). With the thermal grease inbetween heat transfear should be quite good, I hope.
I already orderd all the parts.
If I do any of the resistance fixes you mentioned will there be a much greater risk of insta flashing the ROP high bulb?
The light should run as reliably as possible (also for longer periods of time) as I plan on using this as a high power duty light (leo). Primary duty light is a SF 6P with Solarforce Q5 single mode Cree dropin, but sometimes I just need even more light (in rural area, city ambient lighting etc).
I think I'll have to balance the lumen gain I'll get from any resistance fixes (switch, tailcap spring) with the reliability of the light...
I also know a ROP is an experimental light and cannot be as reliable as most production lights but this is just a secondary light so I think I should be fine!
Any thoughts/comments on my project are most welcome!:laughing:

Sorry for bumping this old thread. I tried to do that spring mod, but I failed to do it. I tried with my 30w soldering iron, but it didn't fit in the cup and I didn't anything to attach them to keep them in place. So, does this mod make noticeable difference with ROP?
