Craig, I can't help you with that but I would suggest that a very 
reasonable alternative is to install three triple AA cell holders in 
their place.  I've done that on my 352s and several others, and unless 
knowing that they're not original bothers you it works well and is 
cheap.  I'd suggest using foam mounting tape to install the cell 
holders.  With a little planning the original battery leads can be used 
uncut, along with a little extra wire to series-connect the cells in 
each holder.  If you save the jumper straps the meter can always be made 
original again.  The cover fits fine with Keystone 171 holders and 
probably would with others, subject to your evaluation.  I could send 
you a picture of the conversion if you need it.

Fred
