IIRC, "making" a battery pack for a 110/120/130 was a simple matter of
cuting a bit of cardboard to fit in the well under the batteries and put
pressure on the button at the bottom of the well, and stocking the
Newton with NiCad AA cells.... No reason other than nostalgia to try to
dig up an original pack.
