disassembling on old systems like this, while still a feat, is not as hard as people often think I find, because the assembly practically is the source code

that's pretty fiddly and impractical though. By the time the batteries are dead, the batteriser will be long lost in some drawer

Well, that could be the case. Either way, someone sent me 50$ and I ended up losing those and paying another 50$. That shouldn't really happen when you just have a private paypal account. This wasn't a commercial transaction.
