Warwick battery box covers

[tauzero]

Some of you have 1980s Warwicks with the separate battery box, and of those some, a number greater than zero will have broken latches on the battery box lid. The lids are unobtanium and a replacement battery box from Warwick will set you back £30. For half that price (when you include shipping), the identical box may be had from Banzai Music - http://www.banzaimusic.com/9v-battery-compartment-mec-sku50414.html. Although the lid looks different, there's no need to mess around removing the old box and putting the new one in as the lid is a direct replacement. So that's my 5-string Thumb no longer needing a length of masking tape over the battery box lid to keep it closed.
