Have you tried www.partsolver.com They have a lot of nos parts for my Panasonic CT 101 micro crt color, like crts and yokes battery holders, etc. but sold out of plastic parts gosh darn it.

tried but the site goes into a loop.
some kind of redirction that never stops.
i could launch a dos attack just by clicking the link and walking away!

I went there and tried to search for a panasonic TR-001 and the model number did not come up, it showed aTR-1001 and a bunch of similar but not TR-001, Sorry.

musta been a browser fart.
went back later and its working.
since i was told that fewer than 1000 were imported there arent going to be many spare parts around.
GOOD NEWS IS I CAN EASILY MAKE A PACK.
AND COSMETICLY THIS SET IS NEAR PERFECT.

That is good news, I looked at the battery holder for my Panasonic CT-101 and it would be a real problem to try to make one fo it. The recharge contacts are seperate from the power out contacts, I guess so folks won't try to recharge alkalines.

Do you still need the nicad battery part #? I have a TR-001 with the original box, battery, charger and car charger/adapter. I received as an award for "Best Engineer/Technician 1972" from a Panasonic dealer I worked for when I was in High School. I've misplaced the user's and service manuals and can't find them on the web.
Any idea where I might find them?
Peace,

According to the 1974 Eveready catalog, it uses eight CH-500 NiCad batteries. By the looks of the picture, a CH-500 is a rechargeable AA.

Did the TV come with a separate battery adaptor to install AA's?
