Hello Graham,
Thank you for the kind offer but I think that battery is for the TX handset and I would not be able to use it.
I am pretty sure someone will be able to find a good home for it!
My attempt to open the case of one of the batteries failed miserably.
The plastic was incredible fragile, due to age or chemical leakage, and opening it was more like peeling an egg.
The cells had leaked at the bottom forming a bulge in the case making it impossible to move in one piece - see enclosed pictures.
my plan now is to try and modify a modern PP9 by adding the top of the original battery to it. Space is tight but it may be possible.
Thanks again for the offer.
Regards
John
