These come up on eBay every once in a while - where I got mine. Very reliable fluorescent lantern - it will start the bulb even with nearly dead batteries! I don't think these were being made as early as 1965, though - I don't think low-voltage instant-start ballasts were even being made yet! I emailed Rayovac, but even they don't know the date of production. There is proof they were being made from the early to mid 1980's, but that's all I have found.

Got one of these recently and it was in bad shape. There was corrosion around the beam bulb (PR12)requiring dissasembly of the reflectors. Learned that the bulb removes from the rear by removing the square base holding the bulb. Also one of the quarter turn black screws on the back was broken off, obviously by someone not familiar the fastener. For the question last year about the battery compartment, turn the screw in the opposite direction from the arrow on it till the slot is vertical with the back. Press down hard while using a small coin to rotate. If you don't have the finger strength to do this use a large a bladed screwdriver or butter knife for the purpose. To make this less likely to break, coat it with a vaseline for the next go round.
I like to fix these old dinosaurs. Will be glad when LED replacement bulbs become inexpensive.
Use AA battery adaptors to C and D sizes. Lighter, cheaper, and available.

Turns out that I have one of these, but the battery is dead. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the battery. There is no obvious compartment to remove. Can anybody help? Thanks!

We had two of these when I was a kid and they were awesome. Used them for camping, very dependable, very bright, easy to use. Nothing else has even come close to replacing them since they stopped making them. Wish I could find one for sale somewhere I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
