I'd picked up this 7.5 volt A battery a few months ago in the condition you see here. After taking it apart and scanning it, I spent a day cleaning it up with Paint Shop Pro. The repro cover is directly off of a color laserjet printer. Only thing I'd change is to make the blue brighter.

Almost like going back to 1959 and purchasing the battery NEW!

I'll be building its cradle soon. Then on to its companion skinny 90 volt B battery!
