Batboard

Hello All:

I have a couple of newbie questions and I searched the archives and didn't see an answer to these.

1) I have several Saber Is and I'd like to clean them up a bit. Is there a part number from Moto for the "Saber" and "Motorola" stickers for the front of the housing? Or, does anyone have a few they'd like to part with?

2) I saw an adapter for using a Saber battery with a T3011BX key loader. Does anyone know anything about this animals?

Thanks for your help, and I'm learning a TON from reading the past posts.

1. I can get the part numbers, but it won't do any good. They are not available to just everyone now days after the whole "Nick Built" incident, and the last time i checked they were NLA anyway.

2. I had one of those adapters, if you can find one it's nice to have, but they are hard to find, NLA from Moto of course. What i also did besides having the Saber battery adapter for the keyloader was to take a MX300 battery and gut it and build in a regulator and power jack to use either a wall adapter or a cigarette lighter cable to power it. Considering how little one actually needs the keyloader, unless you change all the time, it's worthwhile to have something other than a dedicated battery for it.

You could build an adapter like that, and i did make one myself for someone else. I took a beat up Saber I case that was no longer useful for anything else and cut the bottom half inch off it, then i took a MX300 battery and gutted it and cut it down to about half an inch in height. Then i made a wooden block that fit inside the MX300 battery shell and drilled through it for the wiring, after soldering wires to the MX300 shells contacts and feeding them through the wooden block i fastened the block in with some screws, two from each side. Then i took the bottom part off the Saber and removed the nuts and retainers for them from the battery plate, soldered the wires to the flex inside the bottom for the battery contacts, and just fastened that onto the wooden block with a couple screws through the holes where the nuts were.

Same thing as the Moto one, just not fancy made... LOL

Scott may be right, the labels may be NLA. But here what you were looking for anyway.

I was looking for the labels a few weeks ago. This is what I found. The saber I labels are 3305183R01 For the "SABER" and 3305183R03 for the "MOTOROLA" Here is a link for a place that may have it in stock.. Im not 100% sure if its true but you can try them

I tried MOL and MyRadioMall, and was SOL on both.

Looks like NLA.

Both are still showing available on my MOL...

What I don't see is the "Systems Saber" label. Anybody have a part number for that?

Well I ordered a few from the above links... let's see if I get 'em.

Thanks for your help.

I guess rather than building a contraption for the keyloader, I should just get an MX battery. Any one got one for sale?

I put in an order to Radio Accessories for /\/\ labels and they wrote
back saying sorry, NLA. They said they just imported the /\/\ list then
later found out they can't get labels. So what else is new?

Yes... same thing happened to me.

"I want to send you an email to let you know that we were unable to process your order. We have uploaded the entire Motorola Catalog into our database and there are certain parts from Motorola that we find we cannot purchase. Labels happen to be one of those items. I hope that you will consider us for other parts or accessory needs in the future."

Well, I'm going to place an order through MOL to see what happens. If you want any, let me know as I'll be placing the order very soon (within a few hours).

Oh well.. Those cases with good labels just got worth more..

Better speak up now as I'm getting ready to hit the submit button.

If you want a new model III case, they are going for about $190.00 OUCH...

They are $136 retail?

NHN6395A is what is listed for a Model III Saber case and is listed at $186.15

Now I can get a Model III Astro Saber case for $115.00

Give me the part number that is $136.00 and I'll see what price I have.

These are all federal government prices...

3305183R15 - Systems Saber Label

3305183R37 - Systems Saber Submersible Label

I ordered 5 of each, so we'll see.

Gonna have to check the part number, but you've got to be right because gov't pricing is at least <15% retail.

Well, you also have to remember that gov't prices also include the $500.00 wrench. It is a multi-purpose wrench...lol

Just got confirmation on these that I ordered. The only one that they put on back-order is the Systems Saber Submersible label. Just thought I'd let everyone know that Motorola does still have them available.

It's too late as I'm moving in less than a month and MOL always takes their sweet time. I ordered and paid for this an a lot of other stuff on the 5th of May and they just now got around to shipping it today.

If I have any left over, I can probably sell you a couple. I mostly bought them just to see if they were still available, but now that they are on the way, I'm going to use them.

I found some of these laying around today

Well, the stickers came in today (all but the 5 that are on back-order).

It almost looks like these were recently made...lol
