Hi Leonard,


I've seen the little gizmo that you're referring to but I can't remember where and I know that's not alot of help, but if there's an Aubuchon Hardware store near you, try that. And Ace Hardware is another place to try. If they don't have them in stock, they should be able to order them for you or you can order them online.

You can also order them from:

Global Batteries,
DoItYourself.com, or
Interstate.
