Default Re: Cheap PP9 Batteries at Screwfix

Many thanks for this thread. I've just bought 4, mine are dated 04.2018. test OK on the "9volt batt" range on my test meter. I had another lucky purchase at the vintage/collectable shop at a local garden centre, a copy of ERT from 1962 with an Ever Ready ad on the front page. (see pic1) From this and other sources, I have made a slipcase to fit over a Screwfix PP9. Looks good in my TR 82. All I need is a picture of the bottom of this vintage style. a 1962 battery in a 50's radio is good.
