Vintage Synth Repair

First, thanks for all the answers re the tapes.  The primary question was 
whether there were such things for the Jupiter.  Now knowing there were, I 
did find them as wav files quickly via Google.  Here's the 
link:  http://www.sid6581.net/synths/

Re the battery, I did look into installing a socket and coin 
battery.  Given the form factor, what would fit would be a socket (Keystone 
3000) which holds a CR1216 or CR1220 battery.  These are rated at 25-35 
mAh, vs the 165 mAh that the original CR-1/3N is rated at.  I was concerned 
that the result would be short battery life.  Changing a coin cell battery 
wouldn't be difficult in the Jupiter, but reloading the presets is a hassle 
for owners.
