Description: This is an original US Military issue Pilots SDU-30 distress marker lamp. It is in new condition and includes all military markings. Includes the lanyard. Front has the original Velcro for attaching to the flight helmet or survival vest. Perfect unused condition.These require battery type BA-1328/U which are very hard to find - batteries are NOT included with this purchase. Light Marker Distress, NSN# 6230-00-892-5192. Orange Survival light clips on to pilots harness for emergency rescue or light. New, Government Issue. Uses weird AA style batteries, that are difficult to find. New, dated 11/87. Two BA-1328/U batteries (NSN 6135-274-4035) are required for operation. These are cylindrical with a diameter of about 5/8 and maybe about 2 long. The center contact and the case contact are on the same end. This is the case with most cylindrical batteries that do not have an insulating outer sleeve. The Bren-Tronics BT-70263 is a replacement 1.5 Volt battery. Use some Aluminum foil to contact the bottom of a standard AA cell and bring the negative contact up to the top, but not touching the top contact. Insert two of the modified batteries positive end first into the SDU-30 and it will work. Rechargeable AA cells Some rechargeable AA cells, like the Duracell DHAA120 NiMH, have a case negative terminal right next to the top positive terminal. All that's needed to get them to work with the SDU-30 is to trim off a little of the outer wrapper and remove the plastic washer.
