Got this Rig from A dear Friend Who Had to leave this world And she alsways called it Trashcam really didnt understand why intill i got it.Then I understood , the problem is that it rec. great until the end of the first set then when i trade out tapes it freeze up sits for a few hours then works sound like to me it might be getting hot yes it is warm to the touch but nothing that i would say is not normal. every once in awhile if I unplug it,it might decide to work but not to much latley. Dont know how old the Battery is but seems to hold a good charge never went dead on me but then again only taped 1 full show so far because of it. not that i havent given it a try multi. times anyway if you might know something to do please give me a yell.

As rechargeable battery packs go -- that's ancient.
Try a test recording -- fm radio or tv audio -- using the ac supply if you have it.
If not, maybe Doug Oade can tell you what the anticipated life is of the battery pack with an 8-99 date on it. It might hold a charge -- but may no longer have the capacity it needs to record the whole show.
