Brenda: yes, that's what I had in mind. I had a 6V27 that Bob Timms had done a superb job restoring. Among other things it had a solid state vibrator and it lasted several hours on a burglar alarm battery that was, I believe, a 7.5 a/h. It used a small plug-in charger that was similar in appearance to one that you would use for your phone.

ANYWAY, it was a neat set up, and although I traded it for my Sparton 1568, I miss having a set that could be powered by a single 6V battery.
