B.Flat Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Anyone out there with experience ofthe Warwick dual 9v battery box ? I want to fit one to my Fortress, that is why my first choice is the Warwick box, but looking at it on the sites of variuous suppliers I am not sure how it is supposed to be fitted. there appear to be some kind of friction/pressure tags on the side of it but I cannot decide what routing will be required. Any words of wisdom would be helpful ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 If it's similar to one of the Gotoh ones, there are small screws used in the bottom of the casing. You need to remove the hinged battery carrier to access them. The other Gotoh one has 4 external screws. I've a brand new Gotoh one I bought and never used so I'll have a quick look.

Are you sure about this BassBunny ? If you look at the photo at https://shop.warwick.de/en/parts-for-instruments/warwick-spare-parts/pickguards-covers/21524/warwick-parts-battery-compartment-for-2-x-9v-block-battery?c=3591 the lid is not the hinged variety, you will also see the side tags I mentioned. Tell me what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me what you think. I'm sure about the Gotoh ones but the one in the link you sent, I haven't a clue, sorry. It isn't easy to figure out how that one secures. Would a message to Warwick be the best way forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Flat Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 I have had a message from H.P.Wilfer to say that the side tags (indicated) need to be cut off and that there are some tags on the inside also that need to be removed for easier battery replacement. So, question answered, and it may be of interest to anyone trying to add a Warwick battery box to an instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
