My old Spotmatic 2

The Spotmatic II uses a 1.35v Mercury battery, and it needs to be the correct voltage so that the meter readings are correct.
There are several suppliers, some of whom advertise in Amateur Photographer. Failing that, go to Jessops and ask for the PX400 equivalent Wein cell, actually a zinc alternative. These are not cheap (£5.95?) but they work and are readily available.

The Wein cell you need is the MRB400, which is the replacement battery for Spotmatic, Spotmatic 11 / 11A, SP500 and SP1000.
