Chris:
Now that the circuit has been converted to 1.5V, I think I would use
something (foam, cardboard, plastic, etc.) to fill in the gap between the
edges of a 357 or an SR44 silver oxide battery and the OM-1 battery
compartment and use one of them rather than the alkaline battery. It should
be no problem to make a plastic ring from a small piece of plastic. You might
even find a usable nylon washer in a hardware store.
