hp12c Message #1 Posted by Mike on 15 Apr 2004, 4:41 p.m. Simply enough I have lost the battery cover for the unit and am looking for a new one--any ideas?

Re: hp12c Message #2 Posted by bill platt on 15 Apr 2004, 5:49 p.m., in response to message #1 by Mike Look in the archives--I think two back. Luiz Vieira made a new door for a pioneer from scratch! Perhaps you can apply the same principles to a "voyager" (10c 11c 12c 15c 16c) Regards, Bill

Rebuilding a battery cover Message #4 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 16 Apr 2004, 4:53 p.m., in response to message #1 by Mike Hi, all; thank you guys; being remembered this way is an honor! 8^) Here is an image of the final "work": These are references to other images: http://www.logeng.com.br/images/pion_door_1.jpg http://www.logeng.com.br/images/pion_door_2.jpg http://www.logeng.com.br/images/pion_door_3.jpg http://www.logeng.com.br/images/pion_door_4.jpg http://www.logeng.com.br/images/pion_door_5.jpg As you can notice, I used a protective (movable) cover from an old VHS tape. It's easy to be seen by the known advice (Do not touch the tape inside). I "carved" it till it fit in place, then I added the small parts that serve as "guides" for holding in place. I used a small clamp to make sure the parts were hold together while the glue was drying out. About the glue: I used super glue, but there are better choices. The irregular surface was obtained with thin sandpapper with a (latter applied)solvent (thinner). I don't have the main text from the original post, but I may add more information if needed. Hope this helps for now. Cheers. Luiz (Brazil) Edited: 16 Apr 2004, 4:55 p.m.
