Norma Brewster on Nov 5, 2012 - 12:39 PM I have the above lantern and just bought two new 6V batteries for it. Unfortunately, there is NO Guide as to how to place them in the lantern! It simply says to "insert batteries as shown on box." I'm afraid the box for it is long gone! Kind of a dumb place to put the diagram for battery replacement, I'd say. Would you have a diagram you could send?

ACY SHEPARD on Nov 4, 2012 - 9:59 AM Could you tell me how to position the batteries in this lantern? I have lost the instructions. I love this lantern that I have had for over 30 years.

We're in the middle of a blizzard, and I want to get this ready to use. I can't figure out how to install the batteries. No instructions and doesn't seem to have contacts for both ends of batteries.

You get a lot of light from the tube and battery. Mine also came with a 12-volt auto adapter. I wish they still made this lantern--what a product.

I will leave the new in box one alone!
