Hi,
I took the battery pack in today. I'm supposed to pick it up next Tuesday.
He stuck to his quote (thus far) and seemed like a legit businessman. I'll
let you know how it works out next week.
BTW, they have a website with a price quote form and a 1-800 number. I
can't remember the URL but look it up in google under the name Battery Boy -
there's one in Saskatoon and one in Mississauga which is as far down as I
got on the page since Mississauga is a modest drive away for me. There might
be more and they might not even be related. I told him that if this works,
there might be others interested in a refurb...he half smiled under the
guise of being too busy to care.
Ravi
