Hey guys. I recently purchased a 46-350 that was in great shape minus the handle for $20 from a local junk dealer. I did some recapping inside the chasis and the radio is amazingly powerful for its small size. I would like to build a battery pack for it using conventional batteries. I know there is a couple of people out there who do this for a fee, but I'm more interested in doing it myself. Is anyone aware of good guide or walkthrough of such a process? I'd like the new battery pack to have the dimensions and look of an original. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I believe the battery it takes is a Philco P 841-A Thanks!!
