About four months ago,I saw some of those shake em up magnet flashlights

them up,but none of them showed any light.

So True! Nothing but more bulk-imported Chinese made crap
plus they wanted $19.95 for the silly penile-shaped thingie.
(ever notice that you have to 'shake it' like you're whacking off
ole Mr. Johnson to get the magnet to make enuf juice to power
up the ****-weak thingie?) I went an bought the fake one with
the pair of CR2032 Lithium Coin cells inside of it at the local
Dollar Store, although they were actually $2.50 each. I then scavegened
the four lithium coin cells (they were Sony cells!!) and used two of
them
in my two older HF radios to replace the 8+ year old coin cells
inside of them - have to watch those older 80's Icom radios
as they DIE when the lithium cell gives out. so for $5 I got new
lithium cells for the shortwaves and the LED's are now in a holder
over the radio table act as a backlite from the 12VDC with a resistor
in series.
Who needs Radio Shack expensive parts? pooohiy!
