I don't remember the last time I saw one of those. I think they were made so long ago they were pre-inductive.

Ya thats why I bought it I love finding old stuff like that even if it doesen't work. If it 's not inductive where would u hook the lead up to?

on those ancient ones you had to pull the plug wire and insert the "spring" in the cap or plug boot. It had one end smaller than the other and the light had a led that had a clip made on it that snapped on the spring. They could be "shocking

I'll look for one of my old leads.

Some of them came with a wire similar to the plug wire that you put between the plug and the wire and then there was an exposed metal peice half way down the wire that you clamped the aligator clip from the light onto. Ken

Thanks for the info guys tried it with a pice of metal inbetween the plug and plug wire and it works like a charm.
