built in guitar tuners - issue

[skeith]

I have one of these on an acoustic 12 string.   Had not pulled it out for months....but the red light indicator just keeps going round and round when I turn it on.

Is it most likely a battery issue or that I am so far from the note I need to tune it to?

Don't know the answer to that, though it looks like a battery issue. I have an amp with a built in tuner. A good thing. But I hate those robotuners Gibson came up with around 2015. They detect the note and tune the string automatically. Something to be avoided at all costs, at least according to me.

I have and use one of those cliptuners and when the battery once ran out the display went mad showing all kinds of mysterious things.

And now that I remember it I also have a built in tuner in a Takamine accoustic.

Try a new battery first, and if that doesn't work, take it to a repair man.

So, where can I get a battery for this contraption?
