Amazing ! I like it !

@ KEvron: It looks great! Are you still wanting to "dissect" the inside of the 88000 PF Battery Box to reduce the amount of effort it takes to operate the green On-Off switch?

oh, i was just toying with the notion. it would certainly make things simpler for me; then again, where's the fun in simpler?!

....okay, so i took a cursory stab at cracking 88000. 4 black course-thread screws hold the battery holder to the top plate. as i began to peel back the plate, i noticed that one side of the top plate seems to have a tab which fits a notch in the holder.

and that's where i stopped.

look, i work in the data-com trade, and i've learned that if you try to crack an unfamiliar component without knowing the proper steps, you stand a good chance of cracking it for good. i just bought that box! took tlc more'n two weeks to get it to me!

am i being selfish?

update: okay, it's not a tab. it seems to be hung up on the connection between the external power point and its internal connector block.

i reaaallly don't wanna crack it for good....

You are the clock master, I wish I could do the stuff you do!

Now, that's cool!

[timslegos]

that is a very clever solution. Nice job!

here's another auto-winder. it's a more elaborate method, involving a timing cam and few differentials:
