So, black, black, white would still be zero.   Now that I think about it, one ohm could also be black, brown, black. -- RoRo

I suppose a minus power of ten multiplier would be good, too (I forget the colours)...   Mike.

If you can find a combination of holder and battery that will fit, that would be a good solution. You could look for both dual 1.5V or single 3V solution.   Looking at the device, it does not look complicated at all. Are the high prices because of the collectible value, or would people be willing to pay similar money for a new, compatible device? -- RoRo

If you got a service like Onstar and your car has ABS and traction control you can be hacked very badly, to the point where it can cause a wreck. I read about this a coupke of years ago, and now that cars are running Windows I am sure it is quite worse.   Get me a 1967 Chevy. I will make sure to watch where I am goig and won't need the steering assistance to stay in my lane nor the automatic braking in case I am headed for a stationary object at 80 MPH. I know not to do that, they taught me when I was about 12.   Stupid motherfuckers today, half of them SHOULD be dead.

It appears that they are a surplus house.   -- Jim Mueller wrongname@nospam.com   To get my real email address, replace wrongname with dadoheadman. Then replace nospam with fastmail. Lastly, replace com with us.

Not much > of anything made in China is a quality item.   If "the quality" is capacitance, or leakage current, or standoff voltage, or self-resonant frequency, or series resistance, the radio cares.   It doesn't care about 'made in China'.
