Sounds definitely like batteries for the 1x0 series, wonder if it\'s so
interesting though. Seen their age they probably don't hold that much
of a charge anymore.
Since it's so easy to just put new NiCad in your 1x0 model and put a
piece of cardboard over the switch under the batteries in the
compartment and your in business, it would seem easier and better to
just buy new NiCads.
Thanks for sharing the find thou, you probably got the interest of some
collector's...
