I use a canon version YN-603, but Nikon should be fine too, just the central pin is used. It would also be possible to use the 560-TX, in order to remotely control the speedlights, but it's too big to fit comfortably on the 500. The 560-TX is really great on a camera with a hotshoe though.
And since the trigger doesn't accept PC-sync input (only out), a hama hot-shoe adaptor with pc sync cable to the lens.
This triggers a couple of YN-560 speedlights. All in all a starter kit at less than 200 USD!

I shoot a Canonet and a Canon F-1, which are both designed for PX625 lead-acid batteries. I use an MR-9 battery adapter with a silver-oxide battery to power those meters.

I've talked to my camera tech(I've used the same tech for 15 years or so), and according to him a modern 1.5v silver oxide battery will work fine in most situations. Modern films (like Tri-X, TMAx, Ilford HP5, Ektar, Portra, etc) have a ton of latitude. The extra .15v from the modern battery will cause you to overexpose, but not enough to mess with the exposure of modern films in a significant way. If you shoot older emulsions (Ferrania P30, Eastman Double-X, etc) the difference will be much more noticeable.
But really, pick up a battery adapter and a pack of silver oxide batteries. The adapter is expensive, but you can transfer it between a ton of film camera bodies that used that common PX625 battery when new.
Worth noting- a handful of vintage cameras are internally regulated. Several Pentax Spotmatic variants have voltage regulating diodes in their circuitry that allow them to use batteries with a wider array of voltages.
Happy shooting!
