I just rechecked mine & it's only got the 9 tracks. I got mine from the OS.

Did anyone ever try to change the batteries?

Just sold mine to a pethead in Argentina.

Are you psbfanuk?

Awesome seller!!! Thanks man! Just got it.

I am! Glad you’ve got it and it’s arrived. Hope the electric postcards remained unbent!

Yeah. Perfect. I managed to peel off the barcode sticker from the box without leaving any marks. I bought a new battery, and while it’s not super easy to replace since it’s soldered in, with a bit of skill and a soldering iron, you can swap it out in just a few minutes.

Greetings Lalolalo,

I'm so glad you found one!

Thanks retro! Yeah! Funny we're all here.
I just got the new battery. Will be replacing it next week.

I still have one but it doesn't work anymore - think I put the b-sides on it as well..good luck

I've found mine - I'll have to test it!

Plugged mine into my laptop last night. It wakes up but doesn't charge

I must get mine out & check it!

Made it work!!!!
I had to replace the battery, which was pretty easy to find.
The tricky part is not the welding, which is also pretty simple, but removing the old battery that is super glued to the circuit! Once you've got that done, with minimal welding skills you got it.
I mean, overall it's kind of nerve-racking since you're thinking you might break it all the time. But once it's done, the joy is priceless. So here it is!

Well done!
