Wonder leg/arm light

Wonder headlight and even rarer red taillight, which I never saw in any US shop.

Wow. Those Wonder Lights bring back a lot of memories. I used to change to the bulb and solder a 9 volt connector to the contact points. 9 volt batteries were cheaper than the cells the lights originally used. The added advantage was there was enough room left inside the case for a patch kit and a spare 9 volt.

Sadly after having them stolen, and replaced them only to be stolen again, that got old. Still.... they were cool and I wish I had a set of them now just for the memories.
