You would think this would be easy to find ...

I got one at the Pomona (CA) swap meet - got it home and it didn't work. I bought one at Sears but it wasn't 6 V - I read the box wrong.

What I've done in the past is get a 12 V battery but that's a pain in the - you know...

Just curious - thanks

I haven't seen a 6 volt timing light in over 30 years.

I use a very modern 12 volt timing light and use my 12 volt booster battery ($49.00 from Harbor Freight) to power the light. If you don't have a combo 12 v booster with a light and an aircompressor how do you manage to operate old Chevrolets? haha bigl

i recently bought a timing light at an estate sale that plugs into 110 volts. it is very bright and works great. it was a sears brand. i also have a 6 volt timing light and you have to turn off all the lights to see if its working its so dim. david

I have two six-volt timing lights, one still brand new in the box. At any rate, from time to time I have seen 6 volt timing lights on eBay.
