got the old 1280x out;put in new batteries(DURACELL!!);turned it on;and-NUTTIN-didnt work...got to lookin around;found the black wire goin to the battery pack broke off at the solder(that connection has ALWAYS seemed -and looked-cheaply done,anyway)SO....went to my trusty Radio Shack1 mile away;and spent the wallet-busting sum of$2.11 to get a pack of 9 volt connectors-cut the old one off;threw the new one in there(I always thought the original battery pack didnt have enough slack in it,so I built in another 2 feet);threw some E-tape at it;turned it on and-!!!-SUCCESS!!!-Works like BRAND NEW!!! Actually,the 2 feet of slack is more like 2-3 inches-I just have a flair for the dramatic...ANYWAY::
