Joined: April 2019 Posts: 8 | Got his ovation the other day. Battery door is missing, but more importantly, the label is missing from the inside of the bowl. i can't tell exactly what i have. I've been told in the newbie forum that this could be a CC28. My research says it's probably a CC28 SuperSlim. Can anybody confirm or correct that? And does anyone know what that finish is called? Photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/raQdLYGWgjCRzHKn9 Will also try to attach. Thanks.

Joined: October 2014 Posts: 267 | My point is, you don't need the cover in order to test the electronics. I should have said if you look at the photo of the battery cover in the previous post you'll see how the battery terminals are oriented. You can just insert a battery and hold it in place as long as you orient it so the polarity is right. On the other hand, if this still doesn't make sense, don't try it, you can cause damage if the polarity is reversed. Edited by BCam 2019-05-03 2:15 PM | ||
