"Eveready sites the slightly smaller 411 as a replacement for their discontinued 417. Eveready 504 is smaller still but also a potential option. Don't give up -- the 260's a beautiful meter. At worst, w/o the 15V battery you lose what, only the R X10,000 range, the D cell should carry the lower ranges."

That's the problem with all of this old good electronics; they require weird batteries. Think Sun Tach sending units.
