WTB: Fivemeag 6AA and 9AA battery adapters.

[vestureofblood]

I'd like one each. The 6AA to 2D and 9aa to 3D adapters that FM used to make. I might have some things to trade also like lights from my Youtube channel or other parts for Maglite.

The 6aa and 9aa have been sold out for some time now. He still has the 8aa 12aa type, but for those you have to bore out the body tubes in a way that I don't have equipment for

Do you have a link to those FM threads? I might have bought some from him, but have so much stuff in boxes I can't remember.

Thanks Lux. Here are the ones I'm talking about https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/3aa-6aa-9aa-12aa-fivemega-battery-holders.244640/

By the way, to day is November 5th so happy 18th CPF anniversary!

This is a spontaneous decision, and it'll take me until after Thanksgiving to physically, and emotionally (lol) part with my FM 9AA, but I should be able to help out out here. Will be in touch soon.

The 9AA has been found and purchased (Thank you Bimmerboy), I am still interested in a 6AA Fivemega battery adapter!

Can't you devise 6aa from the 9aa?

...and then, please make me one of each 😁

Hi Matt, isn't it much better to use higher capacity 2x26650 (7.4V, 5200mAh) in custom bored out 3C or even custom bored and shortened 3D M*g 2P/2S 18650 (7.4V, 7000mAh)
I also have many more custom made or modified M*gs if anyone else is interested.
Please let me know what you need and for what purpose.

Hey FM. Better, yes, not as retro cool though. I always wanted one, but back when I first came to CPF I couldn't really afford much of it. Now I have just as much fun (sometimes more) with my old incan lights as I do with any of the modern stuff.

I like the way we used to do things. Welded packs of 2/3A cells and various AA holders etc. I'm so glad there were awesome guys like you here to pave the way in this industry.
