Thanks for the input.

I'm afraid they don't sell that battery type any more. It's the old U10 "Standard" battery, but I believe the 1289 "FLAT" battery (the one with two prongs on top) is built up from three of them. Alternatively, you can use a normal AA battery, fattened up by wrapping paper round it, and "extended" by a metallic packing-piece (a piece of volume control spindle has been known to serve).

Good luck
