Francisco,
I'm afraid the only place is ebay now where the prices
are extremelly high and they are rarely offered, cause their production
was discontinued in 2001.
The last known source http://www.px625.com/px625/main.cgi
has been dried for several monthes.
But there are still several possibilities how to convert the camera for
LR44 or SR44 batteries normally available, which is in fact the only
way how to use its lightmeter after many years when all even new Mercury
batteries will die.
If you know something about electrics it's good to read
http://olympus.dementia.org/Hardware/PDFs/OM1DiodeVer2_1C.pdf
from Tim Huges. Then the best solution seems to be using serial Germanium
diode, but it will have definitelly temperature dependent accurancy, so
regarding this small current schottky diode is better.
I've found temperature and light intensity independent solution which
require to request
device samples from Texas Instruments and implementing simple circuitry
under top metal cover of the OM-1(n). If you are interested to do it
yourself
or ask serviceman i'll email you schematic and all infos.

with my favorite camera, cause its batteries is not easily find in Brazil.
