Dave.....do you like playing with soldering irons? Does the scent of rosin
core solder give you a rush? If so, try rebuilding your battery. Couple of
places on the Web sell Sanyo 4/5's "A" cells which work fine in the Duo Type
III batt. You'll need 10 pieces, get the "tab" cells (to solder them
together).
BTW, 'Listers, I found a couple of cheap 9.6V "AA" packs for sale at our
local "junque" shop for $6 each (for remote control cars). Tore them apart,
cracked open that old Type I sitting in the parts bin, and swapped cells.
So, for $10 or so (used the other cells in my amateur radio HT), I've got a
spare batt. for the 2300. Runs it for an hour or so on the 2300, 1.2 hrs on
the souped up 280c.
Should I start rebuilding batteries for 'Listers?
