No don't bother just checking. Rumor has it that the 
guts of that C.R.I.S. adapter is just a germanium diode
in series with the SR-76? battery to provide the necessary
0.2 v. drop under load. Does that sound right? If so I'd 
like to try to wire one in series with the battery wires 
in my Oly 35RC and Canonet.
