Practical Battery Operation

I made a battery pack for a RCA portable with a similar tube lineup. The pack consisted of ten 9V batteries snapped together in series for the B+ and two D cells in parallel for the A supply. The Dollar store 9V batteries are good enough and are cheap. The A cells tended to go flat sooner than the 9V batteries so maybe a couple of name brand batteries there would last longer.

Kind regards,
Terry

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

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM
