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! Icon_redface

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.

Bill
