Well I've finally become a customer of Tim's. Earlier today I placed an order that, I hope, will allow me to finish the Mag-lite hilt I started last summer.
Basically it is a 2-D cell Mag-lite that used to be black. I took my power drill and a paint remover wheel to, which produced a blackish-aluminum color. I replaced the broken switch with a new Mag-lite switch - I like the look of the rubber dust cap. After painstakingly sanding the threads of the old light housing, I was able to put a Graflex projector lens on as an emitter.
For the electronics, a MR Anakin Soundboard, and I was able to utilize the battery/speaker pack. Ordered a Lux III elec. kit with an Amber LED. I'm hoping the blade holder style 1 will fit inside the Mag-lite and stick out the emitter a little.
I'll post pictures once I've finished, hopefully not too long from now.
