LOL! That was ME, Robert! :-)))
Actually, I think I have it figured out, now. (FINALLY!!!) John
Hermanson is gonna send me a "sleeve" to adjust the size. Until that
arrives, I'm going to see if I can find an "O-ring" as suggested by Rand
E. I bought a Maxell SR44 (it says it's a "357" equivalent on the label)
to use once I get the "O-ring" but John's sleeve sounds like the perfect
permanent solution.
Again, thanks to ALL who offered information, advice and suggestions!
Now, back to discussing the price of gas, greenhouse gases, and other
more important stuff! :-)
Regards,
Chris
P.S. If anyone does still need Varta 1.35 mercury batteries, there's still
a decent supply here in Edmonton. The dealers here say that when this
supply is gone they won't be able to get anymore, because Varta has
stopped production. They cost CDN$5.95 each (about US$4.00 or so,
depending on the exchange rate at any given moment), plus whatever it
costs to mail them to you. 'Nuther words, I'm not marking them up
Get 'em while they last! :-) (Relpy OFF-LIST to
