... as simply wiring an on/off into the pos lead of the battery wire? I want to fix it so I don't have to unplug the cable to save the battery.
Thanks
That will definitely work.
You could also use the switch in a push-pull pot to save some space.
yep, as CJ mentions, it's that simple.

Cool, thanks much!

I found pots in a surplus store one time that had little leaf switches built into the back so when the pot was turned all the way down the switch would open. I think Analogman uses something like this to disengage the battery; could be a cool idea.
EDIT: Found them:

They cost about two bucks.
Thanks for that link, Jake. I had forgotten those existed.
