[Hallicrafters] Q: Battery Operation of 5R41 "Continental"

[rbethman at comcast.net]

The equivalent would be 5 ea, 1.5V batteries in series.  I'm not sure of the
current draw you require, but a stick of "C" or "D" cells would make it.  I
don't know a thing about the connector.

> I am trying to set up my 5R41 "Continental" for battery DC operation.  The
two batteries (long since gone from inside the case), a 90v Eveready 490 and
a 7.5v Eveready 717, are discontinued.  For the 490, I can set up two 45v
455s in series in roughly the same space.  For the 717, I'm lost.  The
Eveready replacement chart lists "no replacement."  The battery wire to the
chassis has what I consider a "weird" terminal connector.
