[Central-Electronics] 100V & 600L

[Todd Bigelow - PS]

I'd almost think this is the case, too. Just to the left-of-center on the top of
the chassis, towards the rear more than the front? I changed the batteries once
in my 200V (back in 1988 when I found it), haven't seen them since. I used silver
oxide SR-44 replacements, probably on the 'evil' list now. Worked in a camera
shop at the time, and these were a direct replacement with much longer
lifespan.What a pain to solder, though!

When I picked up my 100V though, it had several replacement plugs as well as the
original modules. These plugs consist of an octal type plug with some jumper
wires between them, very cleanly done. I think one has some components as well,
but it's been a while since I looked at them closely. They were loose inside the
radio, so I thought perhaps they were substitues for certain modules, like the
limiter.

Anyone else have these plugs? They look 'factory' made, but I didn't see them
listed in the manual. I'd be curious to hear.
