Well, Here are some pics of the battery set up I created.
Created a new connector for the B and A battery.
Here are the B and A battery set-up. There are 10 9-V batterys for the B and 2 18650 (3.7v) batteries for the A. The A box has on on-off switch.
And TA-DA, here it is all put together.
The battery set up works just ducky. However...the tuning is annoyingly scratchy below about 900kc. I have inspected the tuning-cap (with my mag-glass) for any shorts but there doesn't appear to be any. I tweaked the IF for the strongest signal, which helped overall. I'm going to shelve this for a while and come back to it. Frankly I'm tired of it, I've spent more than I wanted on it, and I need to get some patience back. Thanks for everyones help! More later.

Courage will follow when Faith takes the lead.
