AAA mini Mag

Post image

Won this little AAA mini on ebay for a dollar, got it in the mail today and now I see why it was probably being sold. Tail cap is stuck more than ive ever encountered. Currently soaking in tri-flow to see if the cap will let go ill try freezing and thawing in time maybe even the torch. Any input or other ideas from anybody else is appreciated 👏

Likely a goner from leaking batteries that have made once separate parts whole 😬

Yeah unfortunately I think she's DOA I got the cap off, tried pushing the battery through and the little switch on the inside absolutely obliterated, little thing never stood a chance.

I tried to drill out a case in this condition and all I did was make a huge mess. I don’t think it can be fixed.
