In the mean time, here are pictures of one that I polished up and sent to Velo-Lumino to be retrofit with modern LED internals. Pictures by Velo-Lumino.

that's really nice! Great to see the classics being upgraded to provide the performance that we expect today!
Anton did an excellent job!

I've had people ask me about reworking older lights to accept LEDs, and it's not a simple matter. I know that Anton basically guts a modern light and puts the electronics and optics into a vintage light. I've always wondered how he managed the heatsinking... i.e. getting the heat from the LED to the light's housing. Seems like that could require a fair bit of work, and therefore cost.

Congrats & thanks, Robert, for spending a fair bit of money to keep such a cool light operational!
