Hi Garth:

<< [MR9] steps the voltage of an SR44 down from 1.5V to 1.35V, while
maintaining the desirable discharge curve of the silvers. >>

I ran an alkaline cell through this and found that as the cell discharged I
eventually had a output voltage that didn't give enough power for the OM-1
meter needle to freely move while the camera was in vertical position.  (It
worked in horizontal).  I wrote this off for too long a time as meaning the
meter needed service.  Since replacement with a silver oxide it seems to work
in vertical, so I think I now know better.
