They sell at Walmart in the sporting goods dept for $8 it was on sale at Christmas for $5 a Winchester brand light for checking gun bores single led with flexible shaft takes 2 AA batteries. Easy to attach to shaft and you don't void your warranty.

You can also get a small LED light and a piece of velcro, it works great and you don't have to open your machine! Or you can just wear a head lamp and you wouldn't have to worry about it :laughing7: and you can see what's in the hole as well.

just my 2 cents

Interesting.. The coinmaster GT I just bought has a built in back light.. I thought to myself before i bought it.. wth would you need to be searchin for in the dark.. but now I get it, and glad it has it.. Head mounted LED is also a good thing to have, watch the display and see what you are digging..
