Hi Anji... These are quite rare and sought after and I'm surprised that your fellow countrymen are not reproducing them.

I guess they are scarce because the battery boxes corroded quickly if acid was spilt. Hope you manage to find one.

Hi LJ

Youre right about the acid destroying the boxes. Mine came w/o one when I purchased her about 20 years back.

I suppose they are'nt made hare because of no demand. I could easily fabricate one if I had the dimensions.
Take care
Anji
