Check out Z Battery for some brand new purple or dark green numbers.

Re: WTB: Maglites

Thanks bykfixer. That does look like a good site.

I think I saw your name on some of the Maglite threads I was breezing through. Surely you must have some old beater C lights or some interesting old banged up specimens to sell to the new guy for great deal, don't you?? Because you probably have some cool stuff on the top shelf. Haha, I collect various different vintage items, and if you're like me, I never feel like I have enough to sell or trade off.

Thanks for replying.

JT ............... wouldn't mind pickin' up a Jade Green something something along the way if they're not too rare.

Surprisingly I don't have many Maglites. Really. But member Lift4R is the Maglite guru.

Well I have a slew of minimags, but not many of the big boys. I have 1 beater 2D from the early 90's with the other couple in minty fresh condition. I have 2 C sized that are modified. One is a 2x18500 with a 4 cell bulb that kicks out light like a 6 cell.... and one that uses hi-flow 18650's, low restistance parts and a Pelican bulb that kicks out about a thousand lumens. Oh and a 4C like my mom had when I was a kid.

I'll get Lift'd to pop in....he restores old beaters and may have a few he would part with. If not he'll know where to point you...

Re: WTB: Maglites

Hey, those sound like pretty cool lights, esp the modified Cs. I like the C lights a got, and recently got my first ... 3C and 6C.

I actually did connect with Lift'd right before the holidays, and he hooked me up with a 6D and a dark green 2D, and has answered some questions. His Maglite history blog is how I figured out how to date them and spot the changes.

I've been finding a few, and getting a few decent ones through the auction sites. Not sure how far I'll take it. Hoping to not get the desire for a 7D.

Re: WTB: Maglites

I've been finding a few decent Maglites recently, and narrowing my search. Thanks to those who have helped.

Currently looking for a 5C, does not need to be mint.

Also interested in uncommon colors, etched company logos, older D and C models.

Re: WTB: Maglites

Bump for a cool dude!! I'm probably going to let my 7C go soon to fund some other lights.

Also, I'll send ya some contact info for a guy I know that has a bunch of NIB 6Cs. I think he wants the going rate which is around $200.
