Hi Guys,
I am finishing up my A600 Transoceanic and once it is finished it will be for sale. My question is whether I should go through the trouble to build a battery pack(these batteries are no longer available) or just sell it to run on A/C. The battery pack will cost me about $45.00 to construct plus the cost of 10 9 volt and 4 D cell batteries.
What do you think? Since it will not be an original battery, will it still be important to a buyer/collector?

Thanks,
Eric
