Terry;
  One trick I learned from a guy on You Tube, Shango066, is to save old 9 volt batteries after they die, and remove the top portion with the snaps on it, and voila! A free 9 v battery connector. I can tell you one thing I discovered from doing this, most of the 9 V batteries aren't made the old fashioned way with a pancake stack of cells, they seem to use skinny cylindrical cells instead, maybe AAAAs? No wonder why some 9 Vs won't fit in 1960s pocket transistor radios anymore!
Regards
Arran
