Those are made the same way as the LCD. The wires are very thin translucent gold deposits on the glass and you need a zebra strip or equivalent to make contact to them.

Actually I've seen cheap dollar store calculator with a picture of a photo cell. I remember seeing a shake flashlight that was a fake there (has 3 watch batteries)

It might be a dual power model.

They make shake lights with batteries so you can still use the light after your arm has fallen off.

Hi Blueroom Bill,
Energizer Canada has a promotion where they give away a free RC helicopter (a cheap one) if you send them 5 UPC labels from their batteries.

I have two identical shake flashlights. One has a real magnet and a rechargeable battery. The other has a plain iron slug instead of a magnet, and watch batteries.

Same (identical) packaging. Apparently the watch battery module was used if something went wrong with winding or soldering the coil.

Stupid comments from the few who like to add another notch to their post's spouting total clap trap.

Many people from India are fine.
Millions or billions of students from India asking for me to do their school work and make parts substitutions is not fine.

I don't get so many of PMs from school kids in any other country.
I don't go to websites in India.

The school kids are asking me about very old parts that are not made anymore. I like new circuits, not old ones.

EDIT:
The "notification of a reply to this thread" sent me to page one instead of the current page, AGAIN.
