I have observed that when the lock switch is in the lock position the machine can still be turned on. If this is the case in all units, that should be corrected. I am going on a cruise and putting the p t r 1 in my suitcase and, I would hope id doesn't accidentally get powered up. What I would like to know is this, how long can the battery be removed before one loses the clock settings. Secondly, is their anyway to insure the p t r can't be turned on short of removing the battery. I have whittled a small sliver of wood to wedge in the opening left when the switch is in the off position but, that seams quite primitive to me here, in this age of digital recording.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me, Phil Parr.
