Dan,
Thanks for your response. The wires are broken just up from the clip (in fu=
ll view), I guess from pushing the assembly, with the battery attached, bac=
k up inside the handle while it is being charged, and still in use. The cli=
p itself is fine. Is repairing the broken wires (soldering I would assume) =
a reasonable solution practically and financially?
Thanks again,
Ernie

We are the US repair shop for Telinga. I have robust 9V battery clips in st=
ock. If the wires are broken off the circuit board inside the handle unfort=
unately that requires un- and re-wiring the switch in order to get the circ=
uit board out of the handle, at considerable labor cost.
