Surveyor Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Been looking in my attic, I have found a magazine torch which I used for inspection of RN ammunition stores, unfortunately I cannot find the key to change the battery, can any one help? Have to say one of the best torch's for using in dusty atmosphere and arguing with guys saying I cant go in. Picture show one type of key but I am looking for any Edited September 23, 2016 by Surveyor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave C Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 That's a standard BARDIC Safety Torch still in production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 If I remember correctly, 'Only to be used with Carbon Batteries'. I had several different types of magazine safety torches at one time, rescued when the old Woolwich Arsenal was shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try asking in this group, Fire Service Preservation Group (FSPG) link below. https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=fire%20service%20preservation%20group%20(fspg) We used the Yellow 3 Cell torch when wearing Breathing Apparatus and the Blue two well touch for general use. So you should be able to get a new Key from Someone on that site. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surveyor Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Richard many thanks, will look into now Received an email from BARDIC, torch not made since 2002, its sentimental but carried it for most of my Reserve career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 We use similar torches for Aircraft and Magazine checks but they are right angled. The key end looks similar, if it is, we have dozens of them. I'll try for a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
