Thanks craig.. Yes mate the boys are well and turning into  young men now. 14 and 11.. I will try that blacktown leed out , I was able to use a 12 volt battery to fire it then quickly put the 6 volt one back in , but its cactus wont hold a charge .. Apparently rare spares have an outlet too.. That do some sort of 6 volt battery they want me to take my one down there so hopefully i will be happily HOLDENING along very shortly.. PS found a genuine 1 owner fc on Sunday, Genuine barnfind.. Hasnt turned a wheel since 1980 , was on blocks , covered up . Still runs , Brakes and hubs turn perfectly , I dragged it home ... Has Genuine Original AIR CHIEF RADIO , Nasco  Door pull to me handles. Fin Extensions and is totally complete in all aspects,,,,,,,, UNBELIEVABLE.... CHEERS SLIM

Craig, Slim & anyone else interested, that lead for Pope Batteries at Blacktown has dried up for period type batteries anyway

They still do a black case item IN 6 & 12 volt but more modern

He is trying to source some more hard rubber type battery cases from OS but I wouldn't hold my breath

I'd be intersted to hear more about the Rares item

Cheers Gary
