I'm going to be at the Welsh Open, I'd fit 9V adaptors to your eggs (saves batt door bursting open; & even if it falls open connection will still be there), on the spot, during the Welsh Open evenings (take 5 min or so).
Price, looking at like £2 or something.
PS
, I would offer this as a drop-in mod, but I need to solder the plastic plug out of your egg, onto these wires, and I cannot acquire the plugs from anywhere else.
The £2 includes parts (I will have made the wiring harnesses up already), use of my tools/solder/flux/iron etc, and a piece of sponge to stop the batteries rattling.
Cheaper than the price of a new door

make sure you never need to replace another broken one
Or you can get the parts off me there & I'll tell/show you how to do it yourself if you like (they would be same price as I bought them at), & info free.
I've done this to mine & it works faultlessly. I was prompted to do it because it spoilt 2 games in my last tourney because the battery cover's broken, & it wouldn't work because the batteries weren't in contact with the points. With this as above, there's no pressure on the door.
I've got a spare Y-board someone could have.
I'd also have a go at diagnosing/fixing broken eggs if you brought them to me, as above got a free board if yours is fried.
What do we think? Any takers possibly/think it's a good/bad idea?
Ta
I need people to register their interest so I can buy enough parts and a few to spare, who's interested?
