You've been quite busy since finishing U. I envy your Grid finds. I picked up
an EE 286 a while back which the previous owner had hard-wired for an external
supply. The AC connector had been trashed. It's a real pain to get at the
batteries. In mine there was what looked like 5 C-cell sized batteries wrapped
in plastic with no external markings. Can't remember if I found anything on the
Epson site. I set it aside for later repair or cannibalization cause there were
many faults.
