Well, again, thanks to Gensing for making the bi-pin slug GB a posability.
I finally broke down and bought a 3D host to throw this stuff in. followed gensing's slug transplant instructions to the letter. installed the bulb, loaded up my 3aa-D's in serted them, threw the switch and i must say i was totally suprised by the results..
IT DIDNT LIGHT UP.
checked the switch 3 times, checked all my cells, checked my adapters, all checked out. and after all that i re-assembled it, switched to the 1 other 1185 that i had and it worked. was a litttle yellow since i am using crap old cells but it lit. Looks like i got a bad bulb in the batch of 2 i received. lol
Moral of the story,, check with a spare bulb before you go crazy tearing crap apart. Now all i need is a few new cells, a better charger, and a few more 1185's just in case.
