Long ago, before I got my OM1n overhauled by Camtech, I got a little black washer from the OlympusGuy Paul. It is shaped like the outside of the PX625 mercury battery or Wein cell. You insert a zinc air hearing-aid battery into it. I've used it in everything I have that takes the Mercury and it works great. Just stuck it in my Gossen meter and checks fine. The hearing aid batteries each last about as long as a Wein cell and cost muuch less. A little pack of 5 is like $2-3.

I have one and keep it (and some 675 Zinc-Air cells) as a spare to the MR-9's.

I received a private email recently asking about "PX625 Mercury Cell" solutions. While preparing the reply outlining all the options I tried to find another source for these teflon rings without success.
