  1. If you "google VL2020 with solder tags" you get a number of options to buy from about £3 upwards. Then you need a soldering iron with a fine tip. Just un-solder the old one, trim and bend the tags on the new one to fit, and then solder it in (check the polarity). You may find that some de-soldering braid or a de-soldering pump helps although I would be inclined to just lift the tag clear of the board using tweezers as soon as the solder melts. It shouldn't be a difficult job if you are reasonably practised with a soldering iron. If you're new to electrical soldering then you might want to have a play around with something that doesn't matter first, then try to put as little heat into the job as you can get away with when you do the battery change.

  5. I'm as addicted to buying tools as I am watches. Quality tools will always retain good value if cared for and they are things of beauty to look at and use!
