No, don't risk it. There are reports of at least two 35RC meters being
destroyed by fitting an alkaline battery - 1.5v instead of the required
mercury's 1.35v. I read them just in time to save me from putting in one
that I'd just received. I'm happy with the 35RC that I've had since the mid
70s and the only problem it has ever thrown up was a loose neck strap lug.
