Lithium Battery CMT 64Kb

[KimH]

Hi Bob,

thanks a lot for that insight - it helps me to not bother finding the "Perfect" solution, but to get creative.. Let's see what I find out.

Regarding the ZEBRA, I simply use thin WireWrap, soldered onto the PCB pads.

Not elegant, but it works - I have yet to experience one that broke.

I am not sure I have seen the $1299 version you mention, is there a link to something, which you can share?

I even contacted CMT (they are still in (a very different) business); they could offer no help except to say it's likely they are available on eBay or Amazon. While I can understand this is generic advice which is most often true, did they really think one would not look there before tracking down an obscure small company in Oregon... but I digress?

Have you come up with some kind of replacement for the zebra connector inside a 71B? If so, I'd say there is very real market demand here as lots of machines have been damaged by leaks and can be found on eBay, etc. for not too much (unlike the real ugly listed now for $1299 LOL).
