Hi,
Thanks for all the answers considering my winder problem. There WAS, as
suspected, some "corrosion" in the battery case. After cleaning it, and using
fresh batteries, it started working ok - good speed, and better sound. I do not
know yet, if it holds the power longer now, or if it still drains the
batteries... but I don't think its too big problem: I'll keep the batteries
away from it anyway, when not using it.
