replacement 71B battery terminal springs

[rprosperi]

Often, after a battery leak in a 71B, the acid damages the "chrome" face of the battery contacts on the ends of the springs and battery contact is not good. You can try cleaning them thoroughly with DeOxit Red, but problems can persist depending on the damage level.

One simple, if not aesthetic, solution is to just fold a small sheet of aluminum foil to cover each pair of adjacent springs. The same may also be needed on the center pair on the left side as well. Not pretty, but seems to work well.
