I'd love to find one too (that pulls all the way out).
At the moment I use a tilt mirror and flashlight. Works, but means the
batteries don't get checked as often as they should :-)

Heinz,
Right now I can't even do that. There is such a maze
of wires in there that I can't even see to the back with a
mirror. And if I could see back there, I couldn't do
anything back there.

There has to be a better way. I'm really disappointed that
the Ragusa tray doesn't come all the way out. I really
thought that if you went to the trouble of designing
something like that, you would provide complete access
to all of the batteries.

This is the only thing that I've discovered that the PO has
screwed up on. Everything else he did was up to par and
what I would have done.

Arch sure saved me, at as it turns out, at his expense. He
kept me from buying something that would have not worked
in the manner that I would have expected. Another example
of the power here on the GMCnet!

I can help you, if you like Heinz. The one I now have slides all the way out and
will support 120 I could send a pic if you like.. Darren
