The Fun Stuff
All these little guys are thumbnails; please click and/or open in a new window/tab for a much larger view.
I will mark items as sold as soon as they are purchased. Please scroll to bottom for full sale conditions.
1) 18650 Parallel Lantern $250.00 --> $200.00 --> $175.00 --> $150.00
This is a real, fully restored, vintage lantern which has been modified to accept parallel 18650 to power a single high power LED. I ordered high grade independent switches, one for ON/OFF, and one for LOW/HIGH. One of our very own members modded this light, and I hate to let it go. To be absolutely clear, as with all these lights, most are used; this lantern shows wear/missing flecks of paint. Please use the pictures as a guide and/or ask questions if you desire to do so.
2) Coleman Retro Reversible (Two Left) $85.00 each --> $75.00 each --> $65.00 each (both for $125.00)
This lantern is only available in Australia and New Zealand, and it was very expensive to import. The amber LEDs last forever, and the tint on the main LED is absolutely perfect. Two available.
Quantity Remaining: 2
3) Blue Rail Lantern $40.00
Don't know much about this little fellow. Was used by the railroad?
6) Rusty Rail Lantern $40.00
Rusty rail lantern. Don't know much about it. For restoration.
8) Little Yellow and Red "JUSTRITE" Steel Lantern $50.00 --> $40.00
Very cool looking lantern.
9) Custom 6D Long Runtime Malkoff Dropin, Now Installed in Black 3D Maglite Host $100.00 --> $75.00 --> $65.00
I hate to sell this. Many folks know Gene no longer does custom work. I had this in an orange coated 6D Maglite for a long time. Luck finally ran out and the batteries vomited inside the tube. It is now installed in a black 3D Maglite.
10) Triple XP-G Neutral Mag Charger Mod $170.00 --> $150.00 --> $130.00 --> $115.00
This has three XP-G or XP-G2 emitters inside a Mag Charger. Very floody neutral (5C1, I think, but won't swear to it). I am keeping the lithium ion charger from this project, since I imported it from Germany and it only charges to 4.1V, and I have a future project in mind for it.
One evening I dropped the light in the foyer and the very clear, and very fragile lens smashed into a million (billion?) pieces. I saved the little LED optics, and if I can find them, I will include them. If I cannot find them, I won't include them.
11) 2x18650 "C" Hotwire Host $250.00 --> $150.00 --> $130.00 --> $120.00 --> $100.00 (I am keeping the reflector so price dropped to $100.00)
Hard anodized natural Maglite "C" hotwire host with grippy grooves, fins, and chrome(?) tailcap extender to accommodate two 18650 cells.
I am currently looking for a regulated hotwire, so, trading might be an option here. While we're at it, I'm also looking for a mint condition MG L-Mini II. I haven't been able to find the one gunga modded for me, and I've been looking for it for the last nine months. :-(
I am keeping the reflector from this hotwire host, so the price has been lowered to $100.00 delivered.
12) Sonic Control Remote AC Outlet, Switch It Remote AC Outlet, Four Vintage Style LED Bulbs, and a Couple or Three AC Cords/Sockets $150.00 --> $100.00 --> $85.00
Both remote controls are extremely rare. The sonic remote makes a high-pitched whistle and toggles a remote outlet on and off, and the "Switch It" remote control uses mechanical or piezo electrical energy to turn a remote outlet on and off. I am including four vintage LED filament bulbs, and a couple or three cords/sockets for them.
13) Maratac/CountyComm 32650 3000K XP-L Driven at 380mA LiFePO4 LED Lantern With Seven 32650 Cells $200.00 ---> $150.00 --> $125.00 --> $120.00
The discontinued Maratac/CountyComm "D" cell lantern has been overhauled with XP-L 3000K LED, driven at 380mA off one 5000mAH 32650 LiFePO4 cell. Unfortunately, the brightness drops off after a little bit, most likely because it is not running in regulation. This is an amazing light in every regard. I am including seven 5000mAh 32650 LiFePO4 cells in the sale, the lantern itself, and a small tripod. The tripod won't win any awards for build quality, but it can be made to stand up if you tweak it a bit.
No guarantees on the cells, but most were never used.
The o-ring dried out and cracked, so I tossed it. So, either use it only indoors or get a new o-ring.
Runtimes not guaranteed, but, it is an awesome (and very custom) light.
(lantern, funky/bendy tripod, seven 5000mAh 32650 LiFePO4 cells)
14) fivemega Hard Anodized "C" Size Maglite Host with Charging Jack and Finned Fluted Head $150.00 ---> $100.00 --> $85.00
I have two of these. One is already modded and will be getting an upgrade to an XHP70 once a boost driver becomes widely available for purchase. Exceptional build quality. No LED or driver, just the host. The original iteration of this post included the fluted head. I was debating between more mass or more surface area, and am going to go with more surface area for my XHP70 build, so I swapped heads. I am keeping the finned head. The fluted head now comes with the light.
15) Brinkmann Hunter's Special Lantern $60.00
I tried to stuff this back into the original carton after playing with it and didn't do the best job in the world. It is new. Absolutely no guarantee on the internal battery, if there is one. Very cool host with lots of mod potential.
18) 1xCR123A Nightlight Host $40.00 --> $30.00
1xCR123A nightlight host with GITD powder/potting in the head. Very floody beam; not too many lumens. A light to get to the potty and back.
(or free with any purchase of $200.00 or more)
19) 1x18650 Throwy Light/Nice Metallic Finish *Withdrawn* $30.00
This light has a little throw to it with its big head. Very nice fit and finish for a "DX" type light. Easily swallows my largest protected 18650 cell. Most wonderful tint, like sunlight in your hand on high. 5D1? 5D2? I'm not sure. Wish I knew so I could get more of them and drive them *hard*.
20) 3xAA Neutral Lantern $25.00 --> $20.00
A very nice 3xAA neutral/warm lantern.
(or free with any purchase of $200.00 or more)
21) Two Joule Thief Lanterns These are designed to suck an alkaline cell dry. The attached magnets aren't the absolute best; expect to need to fiddle with them.$90.00 --> $75.00
22) Surefire M2 $200.00
Surefire M2 back up for sale. First $200.00 takes it.
23) Sealed 5C Maglite (Have a few) $250.00 each
Blister pack will show wear and yellowing/fading/cracking.
