[batterymaker]

Okay, I have a rough layout dummied together.

Question--how much "wiggle room" is in the remote's battery bay?

I ask because while I've followed the catalog measurements, the finished product sometimes winds up being bigger than it should be, and then the battery doesn't fit!

In this case, my dummy's length and width are within spec, but it's a little thicker than I'd like to have it, around 1.25". Philco lists it as 1 1/8".

So, does the original brown battery fit tight in the bay, or is there a little room to allow for swelling? Is there enough room for the battery to slightly rattle when you shake the remote?

If not, I'll have to shave down the base a bit.
