kirstysdad 827 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 nice to see some of the old lamps brings back memories as for a good battery to use look out for sealed burgular alarm batteries at car boot sales can pick them up for £5 and no more ruined clothes for the missus to moan about also for a fox call that costs nothing try taking a wooden clothes peg apart dump the spring then turn peg over so both flat sides are touching then with a old cassette take it apart save the tape cut a piece of tape and put it between the two parts of the peg tape up one end then it other end insert small piece of a match to make it slightly open you may have to mess about to get the opening right when you do get it then tape that end up this should leave small gap in middle with cassette tape running though it you then just blow takes a bit of practice but once you get the hang of it you will never pay for one again may sound long winded but only takes about 2-3 minutes to complete have used this call myself for 20 odd years Quote Link to post
