|There is also an adapter available for around $30 US, that
|fits around a
|smaller alkaline cell and regulates it down to a constant 1.35 mercury
|cell voltage. It's at: http://www.criscam.com/ , gets
|expensive for 3
|of them in a Luna-pro. but it wouldnt take too many wien cells at 8$
|each to justify.
|
|I've heard someplace that the wien cells are good in humid
|enviornments,
|but dont last long in drier climes, don't know if thats
|accurate or not.
