John

I can't claim I understood all of what you said, as my experience in any of this is lacking, but I will learn as I go.
Thanks for the link, might come handy soon.

Today tried the battery after tightening the connector sockets, and it didnt work. While working fine from AC.
So I suspected the battery-AC switch, and as I didnt quite figure the contacts arrangements, I decided to open it and clean the contacts. Wasnt too difficult.
Inside everything looked clean, so I cleaned it a bit more with alcohol and then Deoxit. Put it back.....it worked after that. Not even sure why. But it is all good as I saw how the contacts are arranged.

Ed will send me 4 of single battery holders (two dual glued together dont allow the cover to close by 1/8") and then it will be all. Aside from the handle, of course.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
