Thanks for the info Arran! 

So I could just get a 2 "D" Cell battery clip that has the battery terminals wired in series and then wire a diode to it as a voltage dropper? Also I would prefer to try and operate this set on batteries if possible because the wiring in my house is too noisy to run something like this on AC current through a battery eliminator because I would like to try and use this for Night time DX'ing.
