BOLO Posted December 21, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 21, 2008 when they issued the WWII TL-122 flashlight, did it originally have gaskets to help seal it from water? would there have been two gaskets on the lens piece one for the glass piece and one to seal the metal bulb piece? and one for the bottom piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOLO Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted December 23, 2008 I had some spare gaskets and put one behind the cone shaped bulb piece and one behind the clear lens to help keep out moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durandal Posted December 25, 2008 Share #5 Posted December 25, 2008 I've got a pretty extensive collection of TL-122s. I'm visiting my family for the holidays, but when i get home, i'll check for you. -Durandal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durandal Posted January 9, 2009 Share #6 Posted January 9, 2009 when they issued the WWII TL-122 flashlight, did it originally have gaskets to help seal it from water? would there have been two gaskets on the lens piece one for the glass piece and one to seal the metal bulb piece? and one for the bottom piece Hi, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I've consulted my collection. None of my 122As have gaskets, and though some of the Bs do, I suspect they were added by the original owners as I understand the difference between the B and C models was that the C was waterproof, while the B was not. My C and D models have 3 gaskets, as you describe: 2 on the lens, and one on the base compartment. The lens gaskets appear variably on both sides of the lens, or on either side of the metal reflector. Cheers, Durandal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
