Yes, and don't forget that while the 4T circuit dramatically improves
battery drain, it still has some battery drain.

| You really don't need to replace the OM-4 top cover when installing a 4T

| OM-4 with a bad main circuit to begin with. Otherwise, if your OM-4 is
| malfunctioning, it's best to just have it repaired, and live with
| batteries that go dead in 6-12 months....
