40-88 battery
#2

Chris, if indeed it is a 90/1.5 V battery is is quite easy and inexpensive to build an A/C power supply and incase it in a box. Cover with graphics and it looks stock, other than an A/C cord coming out with an in-line switch on it.
I have done 2 of these and they were fun to build. Maybe $30 for all parts, most for the aluminium box and the the board. The other option is to buy a bunch of nine volt batteries and hook together for a total of 90V and a couple C cells for the 1.5. I always thought that was messy and I don't like replacing batteries. Attached is a pix of what I made for a couple of farm radios.
