Does anyone know where I could get a set of battery contacts for a cab-1? I see Lionel does not have them on the service site. One of the contacts broke off and cannot get to work . Or is there a make shift plate that can be made? Thanks

Picture of the problem area?
I have a dead remote, but the back is good and the contacts are clean and bright. Drop me an email.

Don't know why it's bouncing, I am getting OGR notifications every day at that email address.
BTW, what's a Laser programmer? That's a occupation I hadn't seen before.

A small piece of springy metal bent in half and inserted after the battery is in place should work.
All set. thanks again for the info and help
Thanks John

I soldered a thin metal washer to the contact. Had the same issue you have or had.

I did the same fix cjack mentioned on one with a corroded contact. Worked great.
