It was simpler than even that. The battery cover completes the circuit
between the body and the negative side of the "outer" battery. I just left
the battery cover off and completed the circuit with my ammeter.

The terminals in question are visible only with the batteries removed. They
are two very small "pin" sized contacts in the bottom of the battery
compartment well. They are partially hidden by the positive spring contact.

Cheers,

John
