[Boatanchors] Battery Eveready 417 Needed

[eldim at att.net]

Hello Robert and Interest Group Members,
This Battery is still available thru major electronic stores.  I'm not at my parts location today, but these are really long lasting batteries, provided you don't store your meter in the Ohms position wuith the leads shorted. :<(
