A few days ago, I decided to find a supplier for the Tadiran batteries. 
I came up with EVS Supply in Richardson TX.

They have hundreds of the Tadiran TL-5101/P (the one with wire leads) in
stock for $7.77 each.  I ordered two online (they also have an 800
number) and for $15.54, including priority mail shipping, I had them two
days later.

The TL-5101 (no leads) for Macs is a bit cheaper.

Great price, great service...
