Default Re: Old torches - anyone here collect them?

It's good that you are enjoying tinkering with these lovely bits of old technology. That they can be made to work better than new is a real plus - I just know that the original designers would be well pleased to see what we are doing. If you look on eBay there are some small adjustable regulators which work well. I set them up with switched negative - so the regulator comes into circuit AND the bulb lights at the same time. I used cable blocks with a small slot cut in so I can clamp to internal parts without solder. Keep us posted!
