I'm the one with the self-drifting 850 vfo. Got lots of help,
a great amount centering on the backup battery.

Got the thing apart, and the battery was intact. However,
it was mounted to the board with a piece of sticky gooed
rubber-stuff. I put in a new battery, cleaned up the board under
to get rid of the goo, and it seems to be sitting there on one frequency.

I'm sort of surprised that they put that in to begin with. The
battery is fairly study.

Can't remember all the helpers, but good ole Cliff from AVVID
convinced me to try it. Not much of a job to do it, by the way.
