Perfectly Aged Front Load Delta Torpedo Light

['48 Hawthorne]

Found this on FleaBay from a guy I've dealt with before whose is not too far from me. I know it's a fender mount Delta, no clue on year or model name. It has awesome patina on the paint. The original lens is complete and not fogged either. I fumbled around trying to open it, like previous torpedoes, only to figure out it's a front load light. Original bolts are present as well. What's the best way to clean the contacts?

I usually use a small piece of sand paper to clean off contacts ,try that . :wink:

The battery cage will come out if you take that front rivet out.

That's the only way I know to clean the negative end of the battery tray and switch.

I did it for a 1940 Schwinn and got the original light working.
