Thanks, all, for the help with this. I am going to recap the rf unit, (not sure how, yet) and then tackle this battery issue. Since I am going to sell the radio, I am loathe to pass on a battery problem to the next owner. Among the suggestions, I like the coin cell idea as much as any. If I go that way, I will probably obtain one of those little plastic coin cell holders and put a 2032 in there. Still, I'd be giving my new owner a service liability sometime in the next 5-10 years.

Does anyone know what the symptoms are for a dead bias cell? No audio? Garbled audio? Early tube failure? Wondering how a person would know when it is time to replace the cell.
