Check out eBay for: Wein Cell PX675 Zinc Air 1.35V Battery.
Little quicker than from Russia and free shipping.
Work great in my Minolta SRT-102.

I rather use the real thing. It lasts a lot longer than zinc air. If I don't have the real thing I simply use alkaline or not using it.

I've had problems finding those old batteries for old devices. When I was using my Minox C, I had to buy an adapter to use a different kind of battery - about three of them.

My preference for the last 20 years has been the MR9 adapter. It contains a voltage regulator that drops the 1.5V battery voltage to 1.35. I use the 386 battery which lasts well over a year. My Nikon F, and Weston Ranger IX along with a few other pieces of equipment work just fine with this approach.
A word of warning. There are some adapters on the market, rather cheaply priced, that don't have the regulator in them. I would suggest not using them.

I post this because it's the real newly manufactured mercury oxide batteries. Just like the old days.
