| John, the battery box is the other thing I should have mentioned. One

| years ago. I don't know how it happened, just noticed it was missing
| one day. It's now a rather loose fit and I have to keep checking it's

| if it's possible to buy a replacement battery cover for the T32?

| I bet that's also a common problem with T32s and other flash units. It
| seems to be a general weakness of battery boxes on so many plastic
| things, including not only photo equipment but also TV remote controls,
| toys and electronic games. You'd think the manufacturers would have
| thought of using a tougher, less brittle plastic by now, such as used
| in Glocks (of course, there isn't a battery compartment in a Glock -
| unless it's an Alarm Glock ;-) - nod my original jogue, virst heard id
| vrom Henry Gizzinger, ex- Zegredary of Zdade, Unided Zdadez of
| Ameriga).
