[Elecraft] K1 KBT1 option question

[Sandy]

My K1 originally had the KBT1.
I fitted a small two pin Molex plug/socket to the cable on the battery box to 
allow it to be removed easily.  Ultimately, I went back to the standard
cover, as the loudspeaker in the battery box cover didn't have enough
"oomph", and the batteries were a royal pain in the arse to remove charge and
reinstall.  It was the only addition to the K1 I didn't like very 
much.

| Can the KBT1 option be easily removed and the
| original K1 top cover and speaker re-installed?
| I would like to be able to easily switch back and forth.
| 
| I did have a KBT1 a while back but sold it without
| installing it and I seem to recall the the battery pack was
| to be hard-wired in.
| 
| Perhaps the addition of a small molex connector
| or something like that would allow for easy removal?
| 
| Has anyone done this or something similar?
