Should be a easy repair dam battery is more than the tester old school 9v think it is a A266

[toolmanmike]

Must be double amp hour than a regular 9 volt?

 

[halifaxhops]

No idea I do remember them though. Will test it with a regular one before I buy it dam close to $40

 

[toolmanmike]

Could you use a couple of these?

Lots of fun 9 volt battery holders here. A couple in parallel. It depends if you want to restore or modernize. Cheap replacement batteries would be a plus.

No the terminals are spread apart further. Guys will want the right battery in it for the price I will ask. I have some pigtails here I will take apart and use for testing.

There are a ton of them out there for sure was looking at them a while ago when I was making gauge testers.

Nice site. Looking through the list I see a Vat 28. I have one of those.

 

[halifaxhops]

He does nice work e mailed him a few times no response, good for me to see the pictures I never know what I will get.

 

[halifaxhops]

Actually have a VAT and cart coming from NJ think it is a 33

 

[toolmanmike]

I wonder if the Vat 28 could be converted to inductive amp pick up like the Vat 40.?

 

[halifaxhops]

doubt it easily would need some sort of amplifier in it for the pickup.

Heck, mine could be a 33 too. I can't remember. It's stuffed in a corner in the storage garage. Hasn't seen daylight for years.
