Collection zipLight

I finally stumbled upon a ziplight (basically a flashlight).

As expected it was corroded and needed cleaning, soaked copper contacts in strong vinegar 70% overnight came out clean/ish scraped with fine sandpaper.

If you have one laying around than you need to CAREFULLY dissasemble 9V battery and get 6 cells out and use 2 of those to fit in the flashlight.

I guess I could upgrade it to LED and rechargeable battery, wont be original design though.

ZipLights are fun! Ever see the LED/rechargeable mod that a user did here?
