Bill,
You'll be suprised how long the 9V's will last. I have a 42-122 (5 tubes) and a 40-95 (4 tubes) that run on the same battery configuration that Terry described, and I've listened to complete baseball games with no loss of volume. They can go a couple hours a week, and have lasted as much as a year or more. The D cells are the first to go, generally.
All things considered, it's a pretty cheap way to run a radio. If you go with ten cheap drug-store variety 9V's, they'll last a good long time.
I also have several AC power supplies for these radios as well. I used some 4 pin connectors for interchangeability. It's pretty slick!
