I want to use a Gossen Lunasix 3 that I’ve been given. After research I’ve discounted using Wein cell batteries, because of there short life. I would prefer to use, what here in the UK, is called a PX14 adapter that takes two silver oxide cells, as this would be the cheaper route. The problem is no one seems to stock or sell it any more. So the only option appears to be using two MR9 adapters, one for each battery.
Both are advertised here:
http://www.smallbattery.company.org.uk/sbc_mr9_adapter.htm.
http://www.smallbattery.company.org.uk/sbc_px14_adapter.htm.
I have found the MR9 cheaper on ebay, but not the PX14.
I have read of a procedure to add diode into the wiring of the meter, but that is beyond me. Also, I’m well aware of the problems of using old meters, calibration etc. And all the good advice I see and hear is to buy something new and d*****l. But, I want to use this meter so I’m asking, firstly does anyone know where to buy the PX14 adapter, and are either these adapters any good?
