Default Re: Sourcing batteries/cells thought to be obsolete.

I've mentioned elsewhere, but if we're putting together a resource on replacements for obsolete batteries, the military no. 12 cell, as used by many field telephones, can be restuffed using one of the four cells from a 6V lantern battery (the one with the spiral spring terminals on top - called a "996" if I recall correctly).
