Hey gang. I've been looking around and have come up fairly short on some parts i've been wanting to put together for a while now. I've got the sockets/bulb holders I need but am coming up dry when it comes to battery holders.
I've got 2 mag hosts. One is a 2d and one is a 3d. Both have been quad bored or totally bored to be able to accept 4-stacks of AA cells.
I'm wanting to finish up the 2d I have but I need an 8aa/2d 9.6v battery holder to do it. I had one lined up from a fellow CPF'er but I think US Postal service has single handedly screwed that up and lost it. (tracking has been "in transit to sort facility" for over a week now on a 2-day package.) So i'm trying to source another in case that one is lost forever.
My 3D I have is a totally bored out mag that is setup to take Osram 64623's, reflectorized MR16's, etc. I was using two 12aa CBP1650 packs (14.4v) that I believe LuxLuthor made for me back in the day but one of those has totally died and the other one is on its last legs. So my only options there are to have more packs made (i'm not even sure if Lux does that anymore) (I've got an email into CheapBatteryPacks.com to see if they can) or pick up a 12aa/3d holder and then just have to source cells which is the far easier part.
I've been trying to find holders but they seem to be non-existant anymore. I know that most have moved onto AW's IMR cells or Emoli cells for high current applications but I want to use the hosts i've got the way I want.
Is there anybody that has or can build for me one of each of these adapters or even packs (if i have to go that route) on CPF? I really really favor the design/materials of the holders that Fivemega made but he's been out for a long time. And Modamag, who's holders were a very close second, hasn't made adapters in at least 2-3 years that I can tell.
Can anybody help?
