Pinzgauer Hand Held Spotlight

Post by hkmp5 »

Hello All,
I thought you might be interested in a good eBay find I ran into. A fellow pinz owner has some NOS 24 volt spotlights currently for sale cheap (about $15) on eBay. I bought one to make a hand held light for the Pinz and it turned out great! Here is a link to a photo:

The case is already set up to accept a post type mount so all I had to do is make a simple hardwood handle which is held in place by the existing wingnut as shown in the photos. I installed a waterproof switch and twenty foot lead and that's about it.

It works great, very bright with a well focused beam. Yaeh, I could of just bought a modern rechargeable spotlight at Wal-Mart but this just seems to fit much better with the whole military Pinz image.
