[ARC5] adventures in battery ops

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Mike,

I remember seeing and even touching those - once upon a time. I 
understand they might still be available but at high co$t. I get 
satisfaction from ~90 volt packs and the cost is modest. I am building a 
regen around the 'battery' tubes (1T4) and I plan to use 45 volts B+ 
with that from a series stack of 9 volt batteries. The command receivers 
are noticeably down on performance at 45 volts. Others have used even 
lower voltages at B+ but they have to change some of the resistors and 
eliminate the screen voltage divider. I am not interested in adding any 
more modifications to any of my receivers.

73,
