Batteries and older photo equpment


blahblahblah

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know a good place to get mercury batteries in or outside the U.S.? I'm looking for some PX625 (or an equivalent 1.55v mercury battery used in Gossen Luna pro's and Lunasix's) mercury batteries and they are impossible to find. I don't really want to have to buy a converter or have to get my light meter recalibrated to use some other voltage battery that won't last as long.

 

Anyone using photo equipment pre 1970 having this same problem?

bingo!

 

I've tried every photo battery site i can find. All they sell are "replacements" for the mercury px625's. When you use those, the voltage has a sort of half life that makes older meters give bad readings from the middle to the end of the batteries life.
