Clamshell Battery Contact Repair Message #1 Posted by aj04062 on 22 Feb 2012, 8:10 p.m. I have worked this part out in my sheetmetal shop: I propose making it from .024 Stainless Steel. I think I can offer it @ about $20 as this would cover the setup and hand bending costs (the radius has to be done by hand) This cost could come down if I knew my batch would sell out or I should setup and make more. I have 3 interested folks, Kerem, Nigel and David. Are there anymore? Edited: 23 Feb 2012, 8:27 p.m. after one or more responses were posted

Re: Clamshell Battery Contact Repair Message #2 Posted by David Griffith on 22 Feb 2012, 9:15 p.m., in response to message #1 by aj04062 I might be interested in maybe five of them. One for me and four to resell on ebay.

Re: Clamshell Battery Contact Repair Message #6 Posted by Paul Dale on 23 Feb 2012, 2:36 a.m., in response to message #1 by aj04062 I'd be interested in one too I think. I love my 28S but the battery door surround broke a very long time ago. - Pauli

Re: Clamshell Battery Contact Repair Message #10 Posted by BruceH on 23 Feb 2012, 4:37 p.m., in response to message #9 by aj04062 How does it work? Does the whole thing fit into the battery compartment or does it go around the outside of the calculator?

Re: Clamshell Battery Contact Repair Message #11 Posted by BobVA on 23 Feb 2012, 7:15 p.m., in response to message #1 by aj04062 Thanks for the picture update. Any possibility it could have a black finish? Cheers, Bob

Re: Clamshell Battery Contact Repair Message #12 Posted by aj04062 on 23 Feb 2012, 8:23 p.m., in response to message #11 by BobVA I'll check out with my plating guy if he can apply a black oxide finish to these. That would look pretty nice.
