Eveready 357 batteries are available through www.goldmine-elec.com, stock #
G9342 at 3/$1.00 or 100/$25.00, but they have solder tabs. The tabs are
removeable with a pair of pliers. ( be careful not to "short" the battery
while removing!) I have put about 16 into service in OM-10s, OMPCs and
OM2(n)s without a problem. Eveready suggests a shelf life up to 4-5 years.
Cheers!
