Peavey Profex battery replacement in NZ?

[Clarky]

Hi guys,

I have read with quivering knees about how the batteries in the Peavey Profex can start to corrode after 10 years, killing the PCB in a bath of acid. Mine is about 14 years old now. Hell, I've only just discovered the trick to make it sound great (EQ+DIST+EQ) and I'm not ready to live without her just yet.

I read on the net that there is a chip update that removes the need for a battery. Is there anyone in NZ (Chch preferably but not vital) that can perform this mod, or that can put a new battery into the old girl please?

Some info on the mods here; http://steelguitarforum.com:80/Forum17/HTML/003166.html

Thanks,

Clarky.

OK, got the chips on the way from the USA.

The batteryless memory is 38.00USD shipped Global Priority Mail. Burr Brown audio upgrade chips another 30.00USD.
