Raleigh, thanks so much for the information about the B voltage, and your experiment with it, very good information. You must be right about the A cells. I noticed the original cells in the battery were slightly larger than the AA cells I used in my assembly, and hence the final assembly I made was slightly smaller than the original. When soldering to the batteries I paint the area to be soldered with a little liquid rosin flux (violin rosin dissolved in rubbing alcohol) which works great to allow the solder to bond to the cell's top and bottom. This is the second B battery I have made. My first was a 22 1/2 volt B battery I made to use with my Radiola Senior. http://36.media.tumblr.com/29dd66db4c277...1_1280.jpg .
