Hi there,

 

I've come up recently with a very curious gadget: a solar charger for batteries. I've seen agent to have one similar, but never seen this one.

 

It can hold 4 batteries inside and provide current for 3 and 6V. anyone has info about it? When was it released? was it only US?

Great post Hugo, very nice item. According to one source, this may be from around 1984...unsure about the various territories though.

Ahhh, that's Gregory Botha's flickr page. He has one of the most incredible collection. He has almost everything totally new and excellent taste.

 

Thanks for the point...

 

Anyone know why he isn't here since more than a year or two?
