Broken battery tab on my Rex

One is busted and the other is in pretty bad shape, anyone know where I can get these or does anyone have a "not working" rex that I could purchase and get the battery tabs. I'm using duct tape in the interim.

Perhaps I could use the battery holder tabs from a REX 5000 or a Franklin Pro, any thoughts on that?

Hmm, don't own either one of those so can't say for sure, althought the 5000 and 6000 are real close in terms of the casing dimensions and stuff. Another hack that I thought of is what about using some toothpicks and use a knife of some sort to cut it to the right length and just wedge it in there? Not sure how well that will hold though.

A defective unit that I could either use as parts would be best. Another member indicated that to replace the battery holder tabs I will need a torx 3 wrench and soldering skills which won't be a problem. Should I send an email to you for more info?

No reply to my emails. Anyone else with a defective Rex that I can salvage the plastic battery securing levers? Or does anyone know if there are any other parts sources on the planet for the Rex 6000?
