Universal battery holder (UBH) -fits Ex, KL1, Arc-LS, etc.

Doug,

Did your box ever show up yet????? I am starting to worry about it.

 

[DSpeck]

No, it hasn't shown up yet, and the mail has already come today. I was giving it until today to arrive, and then I would start worrying. Now, it's time to start worrying. When did you send it off? It should have been here long since, I think. Most importantly, what did you write on it for Customs declaration?

I'm sure Mr. R. Goldberg will get right on it for you.

Anything happening on this yet. I've bought some of Doug's work. It's mighty fine

(wordier than BTTT)

Please advise if the project is in action or on hold. I plan to get one too.

[DSpeck]

The plan is in progress. I will be working on another prototype Monday of this week. The first one didn't work out right.

Alan, please email me if you want one.

 

[Alan]

Doug, email sent. Thanks.

Here is an update with PICTURES!

I've managed to make a couple of the items, one a prototype in aluminum, the other a production model in brass. The full set of spacers is not yet complete for the brass one, but it's OK otherwise.

Here to whet your appetites -new pix!

Here's the whole family:

The whole family again:

The spacer set (not including the 1AA):

And just to prove it works with different battery configs and light heads:

Doug,

Those are very nice!! I like the second O-ring for the Arc skirt! great design and well executed!

- Don

 

[Darell]

Yes sir! The second O-ring would make the LS head quite stable, and keep crap from getting up in there. You're all over this stuff, Doug. What did CPF ever do without you?

(Don - does it seem like I'm just following you around the forum like a puppy dog lately?)

 

[Glow Bug]

Doug, very nice work!

 

[JollyRoger]

Great job, Doug! I like the knurling, although it seems a bit ouchy....looks perfect, though!

(darell, don, I'm following both of you around!)

 

[revolvergeek]

Very nice Doug!! I am very eager to get my hands on one.

 

[McGizmo]

Doug,

Now that you have a 3x123 holder, if you have a KL1 handy, maybe you can get a run time for us? Jolly Roger was going to get around to it but he's been busy following Darell around.

Again, great job!

- Don

 

[Wolfen]

Great job Doug!

 

[Glow Bug]

Looks like you have all the bases are covered The battery adapters are look great too.

 

[DSpeck]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

The knurling is all flattened off, so no ouchies, JollyRoger. As for the 2nd O-ring, that's exactly what it's for, Darell.

Don, my KL series is still on backorder, so it'll be a couple of weeks before I get them.

 

[this_is_nascar]

So when will these be available to those of us that ordered already?

 

[brightnorm]

My gosh Doug,

Those are utterly gorgeous! I have a lovely girlfriend, but she would be terribly insulted to know that I consider those mods just as beautiful, in that special way that non-Flashaholics will never understand!

You know I ordered and Paypalled for one complete kit already. Could I Paypal for a second kit, or are you getting so overloaded that it's one to a customer at this point?

Brightnorm

 

[brightnorm]

In a moment of sheer greediness, I just paypalled you for a second complete set. I couldn't help it; those pictures made me do it!
