ocifant Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Dumb question, but I took a punt on a job lot of parts at a boot sale recently. 13 zip-loc bags and a biscuit tin full of mixed up parts. Seems to be mainly stuff like 8511 and similar models (some Bionicle parts) but nothing is complete (as yet - still sorting through!) There was a battery box in the tin, looks like 2847c01 on Bricklink, but I can't see how to prise it open! There is a gap between the base and cover, but no way can I force them apart without breaking. What's the trick to opening the box? Any clues? I've no wires or connectors, but there is what looks like a remote control of some sort - rotary 3 position switch and 4 buttons. I've not found it on Bricklink yet... Quote
Zerobricks Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Stick your nail on the top red slit and push it...That should relase the box cover. Quote
ocifant Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Ah, great, got it, thanks. That mother was tight!! It took some teasing, using a couple of brick separators, but it's now free. No cables hidden away inside, alas. As mentioned, I also have a small remote(?) and a smaller motor. If I can't reconcile which set they're from, or confirm the part numbers, I may just put them up on Bricklink and be done with it... Quote
ocifant Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Ok, after some searching, it appears I have: 71427c01 Motor 2847c01 Battery Box 4232rc Spybotic Control (stamped '1342'). It looks identical to the one illustrated here: http://spybotics.wik..._Remote_Control - but again, no cables included, and no CD. I'll have to see if I can find any instructions/Inventory for any of the sets that contain these parts to see how close I can get from the bags of varied bits that I've purchased. Those are the only electrical items I seem to have at the moment. What a mess, I'll be a bit more careful in buying boot sale miscellany in future! Edited April 2, 2015 by ocifant Quote
