Since when has AOC become hot? She gets talked about all the time on that nuts news channel, but there is no path for any female prez going forward. That ship done sank; twice!
Crazy, at no point did any of my searches reveal a battery in the A308. Even AI is unsure if there is a battery soldered into the circuit - as if some A308's did and some did not. I immediately searched for my own gear to ensure none of what I have include a battery in the mix. Just can't absorb enough information, or am surprised at how much information is elusive.
+1 willywonka on the Facebook groups. I dislike FB but use my wife's logon to get tube information as the FB groups provide a bevy of photos that really help understanding designs. There is discussion (and photos of a corroded battery) on the battery aspect of the A308 which would have provide insight into your problem. Not that it would have been something you would want to do yourself, but apparently many do.
