MD2 Bodies

latestarter · Mar 7, 2014

Wondering why Gene changed the original two piece body to a three piece.Also the switch in my original MD2 (judco i think) is playing up.Are they still available? I am unable to ask Gene himself at the moment as my email is down.

Thanks David

Malkoff still sells the MD2 and the MD2 body - granted, he might be out of stock at the moment.

Looking at the website now, he has tailcaps for the MD series in stock.

The judco switchs, as used in the original malkoff bodies (MD2/3/4), are no longer available. There was even a while the separate tailcaps for the MD3 and MD4 used the judco switch.

So if im reading it correctly i would have to buy a new MD2 body and tailcap....Thats $55 plus shipping to Australia $80.That makes a very expensive switch!
I cant justify that,might just put it in to retirement.Very dissapointing,i would have thought it good policy to keep spare parts for older models.

Is your phone down as well? I suggest calling Gene.

Maybe try the "Contact Us" form on the malkoffdevices website?
Might be hard to get a reply without email, but you could explain that in the comments.

My original MD2 switch played up and stopped working. Gene sent me a brand new body free of charge. It's the newer two piece body.

There's a reason Malkoff is highly valued for their customer service.

I should have not been concerned,contacted Gene and he is more then happy to fix the problem...as many have said great customer service,especially considering the light is a few years old now.:thumbsup:
Thanks David

I bet that Gene may still have a few lying Judco switches around. Or maybe replace it with a McClicky?

Or maybe try here? wwwdotjudco.net/PButton.htm

Unscrew the switch and see if the switchs inner springs are stuck. Not hard to service/clean the switch.
You can also use a tailcap from a old 2xaa maglite. Making it a md-2 twisty tube.

+1 to Gene's customer service... If there's an issue, he'll help you remedy it...

I understand the reason for the new switch was the tailstanding ability. But I wish Gene would offer the Judco switch again as an option. In my opinion the new switch is stiff and uncomfortable and makes the light gliding away in the hand. The older switch was excellent.
