I bought one of these last year via Ebay and was rather disappointed with it. It was NOS and was a beautiful light (blue) but the focal point was AWFUL. It came with a 35-watt 1195 bulb so I swapped it out with a 50-watt 795X and, although brighter, the focal point was still terrible. Don't know if it was just my light but it really left me wondering. Mechanically, it was very similar to a 2nd gen Fire Ball with a couple minor differences but its operation seemed a bit clunky and not as smooth as a genuine Fire Ball. I always heard the lens would fit the Fire Ball so I swapped it with one of my FBH11's and it fit just fine (and visa-versa).
Around 1980 these lights were sold at the local NAPA store as the "Chief Special". The branding on the light itself was TUFF-BILT and sold for around $35 and were available in Red, Blue or Amber. The bottom of the light stated, Made to TUFF-BILT specifications in Hong Kong. Over the years I've seen this light with various branding, including JCPENNEY.
