resurrecting a 32E -my oldest so far Message #1 Posted by Christof (Davis, CA) on 2 Oct 2002, 12:14 a.m. Well, I've found a 32E (serno 2116s34088) which I'm cleaning and getting ready for a new battery pack (2 AA nicads or ???) I'm having some trouble with disassembly. I've got the two screws on the top end figured out, sure- but what sort of mechanism is holding the bottom part together? And, what type of charger does this one take, anyway?

Easy and damn cheap. It works fine like this for 3 years now...
