Title
Teenage Engineering PO-33 Battery compartment Replacement
Introduction
T.E.'s PO-33 (and other Pocket Operators) have a fragile battery compartment that can break easily. The also don't always contact the batteries well and you can lose power.
Mine, due to neglect, had battery corrosion that broke the terminal tabs. So I opted to remove the existing "compartment" and add a solid one with an optional retainer clip.
