The Working Group for Ham Radio and Telecommunication in Schools here in
Germany has solved your problem. Now you don't cannibalize your rigs and
meters. ;o))
The gang had cutted a small PCB and soldered an IC 78S09 (or 78L09) and
the two contacts from an old 9 volt battery as the main parts on it. The
PCB size is the same as the battery size. Please see the scanned pictures
from the German ham magazine "FUNKAMATEUR" (issue April 2002) on my
homepage at
