Standard item for gunners on AC-47, AC-119 and AC-130 gunships during Vietnam war. Reloading in blackout conditions made for a rough flight at times and the red lens on the Cadnica worked well for the job. Fit nice in the flightsuit as well

While stationed at Altus AFB, OK , pilots /aircrew in-training had a nice habit of leaving these lights on the aircraft-C-141A &B's & C-5A's. Those of us who fixed these planes loved them. You could hold them in your teeth and work. My wife used one while working at the hospital at night so she wouldn't bother patient's

I bought several of these in the fall of 1999 in the Tokyo airport. They had them in both 220 and 110 volt. I wish I could find more.

Dave,
I have one of these lights that was purchased and never used. It is in the original box. I charged it recently to see if it still worked and it does. If you want to buy it let me know.

Mr. Anthony DeVoti,
My mom had that flashlight 20 years ago and I have been looking for another one like it. (Sentimental reasons :) If Dave has not purchased it, and you are still interested in selling it, please let me know. It doesn't matter if it works or not.
Thanks.
Ted

It's been 20 years since I took one appart, but I do remember they do come appart - I think there are 2 AA ni-cads inside If I remember correctly. Replacements shouldn't be hard to come by.
Once again, I would love to find even a dead one!

Stan,
I'm giving it a rough guess here, but if memory serves me correctly, I think the case splits below the chrome band. I think I remember getting that off (carefully) and then it splits......I think.....hope that helps.

I have an old one that doesn't work any longer -- I found that, to take it apart, you must remove the silver label that says "Charge before initial use." There is a screw hidden under that label. It doesn't come apart easily, though; I broke some plastic getting mine open. The batteries aren't easy to replace; they're soldered in. I used mine for years as an airline pilot -- great flashlight! (RIP)

BOB: If it's just the batteries, you can get replacement ni-cads online if you do some searching. If you don't have the knowledge yourself, you can take it to one of those places that rebuild tool batteries. They should probably be able to help you. I am still looking for one of those and hate to think anyone would dispose of it for only the battery dying.
