     Jameco Electronics (415-592-8097) lists 2532's at $5.95.  Better buy them
while you can; they were obsolete 7 or 8 years ago when I needed some for
Commodore PET's.  We had to go to an industrial distributer back then; they
were out of production but hadn't yet made the trip to surplus dealers.
