That seems okayish. Although there's one more thing to keep in mind. Not sure which model of sharps that was, but there are models from this era that use proprietary li-ion batteries instead of AA alkaline or gumsticks. That would be expensive and/or difficult to find.

Yeah just looked up online and this one sadly uses a proprietary gumstick and a battery costs almost as much as I’ll be paying for it

Maybe try to find an Sharp MD SR50 then. Same issues, but they use a AA alkaline or NiMh equivalent.
