well guys, I don't feel like the solution to a proprietary-type vendor is to hand them more of my money. apparently nothing fits their stuff unless it's things THEY make, it's...it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, it reminds me of sony...
I do not think I will buy anything from them since they don't want other gear to fit on their stuff. I do really love bcc's and rbas- I tried carts and topcoils and just hated them, so this battery is pretty useless to me. I may rip it up and reuse parts of it, {MODERATED}, lol...I may give it back to the person who got it for me, maybe they'll want to return it since they can't use it either.
Back to the hunt for a decent automatic!
