I love my TQ5. Look at how amazing it looks in your video too - wonderful 80's design with the offset slashed square, the little black switches and that Guggenheim volume control. It's like an amazing sonic cake!
I own one!! Will never sell it. I replaced the battery just last year! Thanks to Midi-OX I was able to save all my custom sounds and load them back in the unit...
Have you ever run your finger across the glass display? It will cut you. That's one of my memories of this synth, plus, it had some great, multi-timbral sounds.
Cool sounds. Just got a TQ5, do you know if there is anyway to loop the sequencer? Read the manual back to back, doesn't seem to be, but seems odd no to be able to loop!
I can help. On the bottom and the back of the unit or Phillips screws that you removed and the bottom comes off. Once you do that the battery can be replaced one caveat though, it's soldered to the board. What I did was used a CR2032 battery holder from an old motherboard. Hot glued it to an empty space and soldered the terminals to the board. Make sure you wire it using the right polarity. Work like a charm. I lost all my Custom Sounds, but luckily I found them on an old floppy I used the program called midi Ox to reload them.

No loop on the sequencer. That's just the way it was back then.
