Items do not sound in good shape. Battery holder wouldn't open, nicad pack
sounds like old nicads inside have leaked and fluid has flowed into shutter
release button and lock switch. Most nicad packs I open now have leaking
nicad clusters. Batteries won't charge because wires are not even connected
anymore.
