(Halloween 1977)
I got this from Toy Chest toy store when I was 8 years old back in 1977. It predates the first release of Kenner's first line of toys. I recently brought it to my house from my parents' house.
Currently I am unsure how functional it is because I do not have 2 D-cell batteries in the house.
Main problems. Missing the end cap which pissses me off because as of a few years ago, it was still attached. Somehow it got lost in my parents' basement. I am thinking about these to replace:
I may consider a 3D print. My printer has some issue I given up trying to solve. I may design something and print at Shipways.
The other end of the blade with a lip that keep the blade from sliding out of the emitter has cracked off. I might add some sort of slip on 3D printed lip sleeve. Once again, may have to turn to shape ways.
Would like to replace the bulb with an LED bulb. Maybe something like this: Amazon.com
I am assuming all the metal contact points at the switch and the spring are still functional.
I would like to replace the blade. I have a theory that it might have been a repurposed golf club separator tube. If they used to make them in white, they don't anymore. They seem to only come in black. Amazon.com
Anyways.. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas, please let me know.
