Joel is absolutely right -- on both counts, and, in case anyone wonders,
I still have plenty of new, factory sealed, made by Varta (Germany)
PX625 mercury (Hg) 1.35 volt cells, which I'm happy to sell to anyone.
OLY list members enjoy preferential treatment, discounted pricing,
quick and reliable service. Pls request further details off-list.
Joel W., thanks much for the plug.
P.S. Pls beware of some of the "Made in China" Hg cells. Even though
their packaging may indicate that these are Hg cells, quite often
what's inside is the inferior and far cheaper alkaline cells.
P.P.S. Now is the time to buy Christmas presents for your OM-1/1N's,
and what could be better than some fresh Hg cells? ;-) ;-)
Cheers,
/Gary Schloss.
