Another old 2D cell maglite for £2.
The bulb had gone, and the charity shop was about to dispose of as useless as" you can't get the bulbs anymore"
I opened the bottom up and lo! The spare bulb was in place under the spring. I said nothing and offered two quid, which was accepted.
Down to my mate at the gun shop, and an led conversion is on order.. back home, I switched out the old bulbs, and it's working just fine, just waiting for the upgrade to arrive now.
I already have one i got under similar circumstances a few years back, and made the upgrade to. So now I have a backup.
Good result. Light and self defence in one.
