Nobody in my unit wanted a Fulton version. They would return to the supply depot and demand a Price light. I once called GT Price and George Price himself spoke with me. He was very kind and sent me a box of sample Price lights which I shared with my fellow Marines. HJS United States Marine Corps.

Price MX-991/U on EBAY ( early one with no switch guard ). I got it dirt cheap as it was described as faulty and not working , so I figured that I may be able to get it going. When it arrived , it was indeed not switching on , but after a little spray on the switch with WD-40 and sliding it back and forth many , many times , hey presto ! I reckon the contacts were a little corroded and the constant rubbing eventually wore off the corrosion to make a contact. Definitely worth a try.

Tarani on Nov 14, 2010 - 1:25 AM Does anyone one have some insight as to why the MX-991/U made by GT Price works fantastic, as the light beam works like a far distance spotlight...but the exact same MX-991/U made by Fulton does not? The Fulton just works like any other hum-drum flashlight with only close-up light illumination with just a wide blurry circle of light. Is there another current manufacturer of this model MX-99/U flashlight that anyone knows about who manufactures it exactly like GT Price Products did with the far distance spotlight beam effect?

GT Price wasn't the only company making lights like this. For example, Eveready, among others, made a series of industrial lights that had jacks for leads to permit the flashlight to be used as a temporary power source. Usually, though, you see this feature in a Bright Star or Fulton / GT Price / etc. military-style light that was manufactured for Bell System use.

I have replaced the batteries and the bulb and it does not work, I guess that pretty much means the switch is the only thing that can be left that's not working...who can tell me how I can get this flashlight fixed, it has great sentimental value to me but I know it's not necessarily not worth all that much in the open market.

" Anonymous Collector on Aug 18, 2006 - 7:09 AM U.S. Army Angle Head Flashlight MX-99/U MX-991/U In the Vietnam era an improved plastic flashlight was introduced, the MX-99/U later upgraded to the MX-991/U. These flashlights were similar to the TL-122D (1940-1945), waterproof design with spare lenses and bulb in an extended base. Most of these are marked with either G.T. Price or Fulton as the manufacturer. The MX-991/U continued in use with the nomenclature "FLASHLIGHT: electric, hand, 2-cell, w/lamp and lens filter, w/o batteries, type I class A (21108) MX991-U" with NSN 6230-00-264-8261. Sometimes it is just called "Flashlight, plastic" or "Flashlight, anglehead". At some point a switch guard was added to the design. Lens filters are available in blue, green, amber, red, blackout and diffusion to adapt to different conditions. The screw-on base, below the battery compartment spring, holds a spare bulb and below that spare lenses, in two sections that join together with screw threads. The flashlight is 8 inches long by 3 inches across the angle head. The tube diameter is 1 3/4 inches. The light is powered by two "D" cell batteries.
