They are harder to find than the ones for the 2x00 I think.  And while I understand the lack of time and energy in cleaning up the sled, it shouldn't require hazmat equipment.  White vinegar (assuming alkaline batteries here), Q-tips, water, a little  isopropyl alcohol for the final once-over cleaning should do it.  Oh and a pair of disposable gloves.  Although if you are careful, this is optional (although if the corrosion is really bad, more on the side of mandatory).  I would also cover the work area in disposable material (several layers of paper towels is what I use).  Unless it is really bad, it shouldn't take long.

Sadly I have had to clean up quite a few things over the years due to batteries leaking.  On the good side, none of them have been my Newtons.
