Headlights; my parents bought me in TN

Here's 1 of those things proving people can tell when you love bicycles. My dad & mom picked these up for me today while being up there for the weekend checking on the little cabin in Hampton, TN

They may not be old or valuable but they know I can use or mod them. Pops says they're clean inside & all the wiring looks good. Had I not got back into bicycles the way I am now with TheCABE they would have passed them up for $15. I plan on dual mounting them on Monark Super Deep fenders or my '53 CWC gender bender skip tooth project

Pops said the black switch light is made in Japan supposedly if he's seeing it clearly with his glasses? The other yellow colored 1 he says he doesn't see anything on. I'll know today when I get them & do a little clean up.

Neither work but the bulb indeed was Good on a D cell with a wire grounded to the side

It’s nice that your folks are on the lookout for you! Never know what they may stumble upon!

True but if it gets any kinda expensive they'll ignore it. It could be a rare part for stupid cheap & they'll wait to tell me about it. Lol. Anyways .... I appreciate when they think about me & my hobbies.

Very nice of your folks to be on the lookout for you! The more eyes out looking the better!

I have one like #2 that I rebuilt for a 9V battery and a LED lamp. Nice and bright!

That was my intent to use them for cheap led & 18650 battery conversions since neither are identical matches
