Barnaby, I have/have had several CP1. I have never seen a CP2. It is
certainly possible that a CP1 will still be usable without the need for a
rebuild, although with lower capacity than it had originally. But if all
you are going to do is burn 2-3 36-exp films in a day, I can't see that the
lower capacity is going to be a show-stopper problem.
If you have doubts about whether there is *any* capacity left in what you
are buying, then set your price accordingly, and budget for a rebuild (with
NiMH cells). I would guess somewhere in the USD50-USD100 range. If you
can't find a repair shop in Denmark, I can suggest a shop in UK.
In my experience, you can't tell just by looking at the outside what has
been done inside (I had to mark my rebuilt CP1 to show which was which).

Subject: [OM] Need for rebuild on M. 15V Ni-Cd Control Packs - Yes or No?
I'd like to know what the odds are for a M. 15V Ni-Cd Control Pack for a
Motor Drive to need a rebuild.
If it is a control pack 1 that had lots of use is it possibe that the
cells are still good and will hold a charge? What about control pack 2?
Is there any way to see if it has had new cells put in just by looking?
Thanks.
p.s. the seller I am suspicious of is NOT from this list. I think you have
all been great.
