Attached pictures of our favourite culprits - 6No Duracell U2's recently prised out of a nearly wrecked (well .... it already was!) Akkord Penguin u62 Deluxe .... together with a cloud of copper sulphate etc. The battery rack has been restored and the set converted to run on re-chargeable AA's .....

Mein gott ... as they say in der Fatherland!
