I have repaired well over a dozen KLM-367s and have always used a Lithium
coin cells as a replacement. A CR2032 in a holder is all that is required.
You just need to take out the resistor next to D15 and insert an 1n 4148
with the anode (the stripe) facing down towards the edge of the board in its
place. Like I said, you should check for low resistance / shorts around this
area if you are running down batteries very quickly.
