Hi, I've been given a model 41-95 code 121 for a present .I have not even taken a good look at it yet. Here's the question.Is there a battery that can be purchased or ganged together that is not a bunch of small cells ? I want to use this radio in a spot where there is no power an would like a two or three battery solution if possible. Like one for the heaters and two together for plate supply. This radio would get a few days use per month at best . And then a few hours at a time. I would lump cells togther but when I read about it seems that the batteries are trying to be fit within the radio .I do not care about that .This could be car battery size if needed . Any help or suggestions would be appreciated . I will take my best option and be happy as always ! Thanks.!

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM
