Done with your old Medtronic transmitter?

If anyone has a dead Medtronic transmitter like the kind shown below, I'd like to have it. Mine's broken and I need spare parts. I'll reimburse postage. Send me a message if you can help me out. Thanks!

Why would you waste the money on that one? Most likely by now they are all going to be dead and would need battery replacements.

Actually, that's not true. They're not all dead & not all need battery replacements. Some people are still using theirs and some have purchased the larger transmitter (as pictured above) as backups.

I think the smaller transmitters are nicer, but not everyone who has the CGMS can afford to upgrade.

Maybe hobo's battery still works, but he needs other parts to fix the rest...only he can say for sure.
