Must have missed this Joel's question on the way through . . . sorry Joel . . .
Yes, after getting a magnifier to read it, the diode is marked "2A" in
extremely tiny print. Not surprising as both #357 and #386 cells have the
same voltage. Only difference between them is physical size and capacity.

Well i have received my MR-9 adapter + 386 batteries from criscam (that
was quick) and it is the brushed metal (matt looking not chrome) version
(if that helps anyone).
Seems to work as expected although i will know once i have the roll back
from the developers. Thanks to all for the help, hopefully that'll be my
battery problem solved! Now just need to get hold of a OM-1N or 2N black
body for a spare... ;-)

John,
Thank you, as always. I got the SR43 off the actual package my latest MR-9
came in (it was the only thing I could read as the rest was in Japanese)
and #301 off an equivalence table somewhere. I guess I remember the #386
now that you mention it, but I had no basis for selecting one or the other
before you posted. Much appreciated.
Now -- do you know of a way of determining which MR-9 is which by physical
markings? The only difference I can see is that my older one (for SR44) is
very shiny, whereas the new one (for SR43) is brushed chrome. The diode in
each says "2A". It is the same for you?
