Prodigy V1 Mechanical Switches & Juice Update

[BrockJ]

Hey Steve can you set aside a couple of the V1 Mech. switches for me, one in 5V and one in 3.7~+6v? Right now i have an open ticket (sent last week thursday #794-4067) and would like to add the switches in with that future order.

On another note just got my V2s in today and i must say Job well done! Fit and finish is a definite improvement. Just working out some kinks though. A couple of my batteries from the V1 would not fit, so i took off the insulation wrapper on the batteries. This caused a short between the batteries and the tube. Because of the clearances, wrapping the batteries in electrical tape would not fit. Painters tape had the same results, and I don't have any shrink wrap big enough for the batts...any suggestions?

It'll be hard to find shrink wrap as thin as they install at the factory.
You can get the normal shrink wrap at any electronics supply house.
Since you're in Hawaii I'm not sure what you have available.
You need someplace like "ALLTEX". You may be able to order some on the www. But be careful when you heat it up to shrink it. Those batteries can get exciting when heated too much. 8-o

You could try mylar tape. I have some that is plastic and super thin, it's about the same maybe a hair less thicker than the shrink wrap that's on the batteries.

That would probably work Wench
A nice thin clear box tape or something. Have to make sure you got a complete wrap.

Geniusly simple...... (probably not a word but it should be in this case)
