Yes, the Micro-Pill will aslo fit the Mag Solitaire. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
But, there is a little filing involved:
The top board needs to be filed from 11.85mm to 10.85mm, and the bottom + contact board from 10mm to 9.30mm.
The body needs a new bore through it of 3/8 inch (9.50mm) and a second bore 25/64 inch (9.90mm) by 3/16 inch (4.78mm) deep. The second bore is to clear any possible conflict with components on the top circuit board. File off any anodize from the top edge of the body; it will be the negative contact for the pill.
The reflector just gets the hole enlarged to 7/32 inch (5.56mm) for the Luxeon LED.
The filed Micro-Pill and modified reflector fit nicely in the Solitaire head.
A small insulated spacer takes up the slack left from removing the stock switch. Note that this one is a little longer, as the tailcap on this Solitaire was shortened previously when used for a different mod.
The result is a very bright little Solitaire. This one is sporting a TW0J Luxeon and is very bright. Run time on one AAA NiMh 740mAh cell was two hours. I would expect about double that from the new AAA Energizer lithium cells.
On/Off operation is tighten the head down to turn on, loosen 1/4 to 1/2 turn to shut off.
While the filing takes some real work, and your fingers will hurt when you finish, it's well worth the effort. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
