I have one of the CRIS MR-9 adapters
<URL:http://www.criscam.com/mr9b.htm> (a replacement for the PX13 and
PX625 mercury batteries) in my Yashicamat 124G (ObStereo: I have used
it for slide bar shots) and it works nicely.  When I sent the camera
to a former Yashica factory worker to be rebuilt (I didn't know in
advance that the camera had such extensive problems) he said the meter
tested OK.

I wasn't able to find an adapter/replacement for the LR44 batteries on
the CRIS website.
