Grandpa's torch

Looks to be in pretty good shape, but the switch doesn't work. I hope I can disassemble it and fix.

Bykfixer or someone with similar knowledge will likely stop by. I'm sure you'll get some advice if required.

Those old mechanical switches are stupid simple and often just need a good cleaning.

Is that a Bright Star by chance? Probably screw in bulb?

If you know your way around pop rivets they're not that difficult to remove. But first try giving it a good cleaning with something like Tarn X or De-Oxit and a q-tip.

Let us know if you get your grand-father's torch working again.

Drop some deoxit on the inside of the switch and work it.
Hit every contact with it

This:

and just for a little-known fact if you're ordering: FYI, 'D100' would be far better than 'Gold' for this application / purpose.
