If the battery leads are crumbly I would recommend replacing them or having them replaced, if the are still good you can get by for now. You can run these battery sets either by rigging up batteries like the 9 volt jobs in series, with a pair of 1.5 volt "D" cells in parallel for the "A" side or you can try building a battery eliminator from one of the many plans out there.
