Hi Phil and thanks sending me the recent info about the 'Mag-Lite® C & D Cell Flashlights Repair Manual' now found at manualslib.com. This PDF is very useful...
Finding this type of OEM repair info on the Internet is often difficult since some 3rd party Internet search engines restrict and re-prioritize search results solely to benefit that company's corporate profits.
It amazes me how much interesting Internet info is restricted and hidden by large search engine companies in their blind attempts to increase profits by restricting search results.

Maglite D-cell Switch Replacement
I've recently acquired a Maglite from my Grandma. I've seen it in her house for years on top of the China cabinet, and she finally let me take it home since she thinks it's useless. The Maglite still works, it takes two C-Cell batteries, and it even has it's spare lightbulb in the cap completely untouched. But I want to know specifically how old it might be, since she says she doesn't remember buying it, and that my Grandpa actually took it from an old job he used to work at years ago.
Here's some pictures.

I've noticed it doesn't have that strange logo on it next to the word 'Maglite', and California is shortened to 'Calif.' on it instead of 'CA'. The serial number on the side also doesn't have any letters in it.
Does anyone have any idea exactly how old this model might be? And is it at all possible for me to find new parts for it, like a brighter lightbulb?
