My Gosh, those things are in there tight! Destroying the finish would be a drag. I'm at a loss. Are all the batt,. compartment on the early Alembics this snug? adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 2806 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 2:18 pm:    It's the battery size that has changed since the mid 70s. Dela217's advice on the Power supply question? thread from 2005 may put you in the right direction as to finding "proper" size batteries. Hopefully others will chime in with more practical insights as to getting the 9V batteries out. elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 1238 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2011 - 6:47 pm:    Maybe if you superglue or epoxy a 'handle' to them you can pull them straight out. That's the only thing I can think of...good luck, Elwood dwemmy New Username: dwemmy Post Number: 5 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Friday, May 27, 2011 - 6:19 am:    Thanks to both of you. Good idea, elwood. Will a smaller 8.4V battery suffice for the Series I power requirements? adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 2807 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, May 27, 2011 - 6:26 am:    Series electronics are happiest when fed through the power supply.
