[Leica] R9 & DMR

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

OK Tina, you are certainly welcome to spend time with my R8DMR.  You may 
want to see if Arne has any dead batteries and if so have him send them 
also.  You can get them rebuilt at several sources.  There is a guy in CT. 
that is working on a cable for the dmr to work with the Quantum batteries, 
he is also pretty close to a battery that would screw into the tripod mount 
which I have tried and it works pretty good.

Thanks, Gene.  I may want to take a good look at yours at the seminar.  Mine
is still in Norway and won't be here by the time I leave.  I think it's only
coming with one battery, though.
