    Alcohol stove cooking questions

    If you had a picture of your stove, we could be sure of what you have. I have used an MSR XGK camping stove for many years. It's the classical alpine stove that can use camping fuel, white gas, car gas, alcohol and even diesel if need be. I don't think that is what you have. We have also used...

    Maglites

    I checked the stamping on my bulbs, and I came up with the following: Philips Hong Kong PR18 1L5. I looked these up and found the following site: http://www.topbulb.com/pr18-bulb-0-55-amp-7-2-volt-3-96-watts-b3-5-sx6s-base. The bulb is rated for 3 hours for a 6 cell D. I also found the...

    There are some marking on the body, but I'll need a magnifier to read that. I'll try taking a macro-close-up shot and then enlarge the image. Maybe we can read it, or someone might recognize it.

    Maglites

    So after bykfixer dug up his bulbs, I got bulb envy. Told the wife "I'll be in the garage for a bit!" And like an old troll I went digging through a few drawers that haven't seen light in a while. Knowing one has something is different than knowing where to find it! But, we had success. I found...

    Maglites

    Need a light?, as to the bulb. If I am not wrong, I believe they were called "Krypton" bulbs and they came specifically made for 2, 4 or 6 D cells. Back then, I recall ordering a 6D Mag and got it in the mail. The day after I got the 6, another box arrived with a 7D! I waited a week, and there...

    Maglites

    I'll throw a few pics in for the "vintage" and "stock" Maglite fans! It's a ca. 1980s bought in Los Angeles when I was just a young lad. This is what I came home with after I learned how to drive and left the house unsupervised! Also, If you see my first post in "new members" I have to admit I...

    Eneloops discontinued at Costco (USA)?

    Here in the San Francisco area (East Bay) our Costcos have the Eneloop multi packs stocked. They do seem to come and go during the year. I remember last summer, when all the solar items were out on display, you could not find Eneloop in the store.

    Which battery charger?

    FWIW, I have been using NiMH batteries for photography for many years. I used to use the NiCads as well back in the day. One machine that I have found to do a very good job is from a company called MaHa. they make a AA/AAA charger for 1-8 pieces, and can do a fast, regular, deep or condition...
