Does anybody know what type of battery these older Sony electret mics take?
I can find no reference to them on Sony's web site. My impression is they
were sold in the world market but not necessarily here in the USA.

Thanks.

The mercury batteries they used are no longer available. I think you can
probably get away with substituting a stack of PX625 types.

The voltage is hardly critical. Any battery or stack o' cells that fits and
comes close to the original voltage should work.
