(These are Replicas to replace the original spark coil)
Up for sale is a replica Spark Coil for Midland Cigar lighters.
We rebuild these old type spark coils and put a new 6-volt capacitor in them so they can handle the 6 volts. We added a picture of an Eldred spark coil before and after restoration.
Contact us if you want us to restore your original spark coil or we can give you credit for your core spark coi...l.
We make two types of spark coils: one is the hard wired version that is contained in the Midland lighter – the other is a terminal stud connection like the Eldred lighters had.
The original spark coils were made to operate on 4.5 volts (three No.6 batteries of 1.5 volts). After they stop making No. 6 batteries people would put a 6-volt lantern battery in the lighter to get it to work. Since the condenser was designed for 4.5 volts the 6 volts would burn the condenser out over time.
Many of these spark coils have been thrown away because they do not work – we offer a replacement spark coil that looks similar to the original.
Pictures show the original Midland spark coil and the hard wire replacement. Either spark coil will work in either the Midland or Eldred Cigar Lighter.
We are the only ones that rebuild original spark coils and also sell replica spark coils. Check us out.
We have a lot of Midland and Eldred cigar lighters items for sale and also other items.
