RE: Spotmeter V

Okay...I just took a look at the unit. There is no scale illuminator button on the grip. 3 MS76's are too tall, they're also smaller in diameter than the orig's. Judging by how they fit in the battery compartment.

Scratch my prior email regarding the functions of the 2 battery sources. It appears the 9V operates the "normal" function and the G-13's operate the "L" function or low light function. True? Evidently I don't have a Spotmeter V...must be an orig. Spotmeter?

I'll do more research on the web. I downloaded a Spotmeter V manual and that's where I got the battery spec. Evidently it's the wrong manual.

Thanks,
Chris

I just checked the manual and your right, it specifies
Mercury.
However it says 1.5 volt so a Silver Oxide should work
fine as long as it fits.
If you'll measure the size of one I'll compare ot to an
SR-44 to be sure it's the same size.
