Lithium battery. Solution

Lithium battery. Solution

2000-10-21 by Nathan I Smutz

What the repair man did with mine was: he pried the old battery off and
soldered a battery holder in it's place.  If the battery runs out again
(in another ten or twelve years) I just have to open it up and put a new
battery in the holder.  On the VFX (regular variety) the disk shaped
batterey is under the far side of the front panel.  If you know what
you're doing with a soldering iron, you could probably do it yourself.  I
can't remember whether the repair man used a heat sink or not.  The
battery is attached with a strip of metal or two that are riveted to the
battery.  Be careful not to do any damage getting the battery off.  

Soli Deo Gloria,
Nathan
