They have stocks of PX625 batteries at about $AUD7 each. I've bought from
them for OM-1 and 35-RC Olys. A great little firm for repairs. Commercially,
bloody hopeless. (If you'd like me to buy for you and post, email me off
list).
The batts are 'Max Battery' Model MX625, individually packed in a plastic
shell with a tab which has to be removed to activate the cell and they have
a spacer to allow their smaller diameter to fit centrally into our OM-1's
battery ports etc.
Hope this helps.
John,
Sydney, Oz.

Subject: [OM] source for PX625 mercury batteries?
Does anyone have any sources for the old PX625 mercury batteries,
preferably in Australia? I know they have been banned, but I've seen one
or two people selling them in the Phototraders magazine. The last one I
emailed hasn't gotten back to me yet. I'm not up to converting the battery
yet.
