It's a very complicated piece of equipment to operate:

1. Insert D cell batteries.
2. Turn it on.

Don't over-complicate things guys. It's a flashlight with spare bulbs in a box, nothing more.

Where is the battery box lid translation? I bought the optics and tripod manuals from John, but don't see the lid thing anywhere.

Lid translation is on his website. Free download.

The MG3 light assembly works quite well with the MGZ-40. I was thinking about possibly making a period style battery box to go with it.
