I was going through some of my old magazines and found some flashlight ads. I thought some of you would get a kick out of them so here they are. The magazines are from 1983.

you can fix that by getting rid of the .orig.jpg at the end of the links.

JackBlades,

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif It's cool to "step on" my thread. I'm still trying to figure out how to use Imagestation to post these. Do I just get rid of the ".orig.jpg" at the end. I have one more ad. I wasn't going to bother if there was no interest.

I like that term "Searchlight". You don't hear it much any more. As a kid it had grand connotations of the mythically big and powerful "adult" kind of flashlight, vs. the 2D eveready I was used to.

And, I see the 300% brighter figure has a long history. Probably they just keep copying it without bothering to check. So, anyone hurt their eyes looking at the dazzling super bright KPR102?
