A shout out to a MRCA member provided one and in short order it arrived in fine condition.  While waiting for it to arrive I purchased a inverter power supply from Italy as well as a 6V 10Ah battery from a US supplier.  To fill the void in the battery box I used some dense packing foam glued together with contact cement.  I used a piece of 550 cord as a pull handle so the insert could be extracted from the box easily for battery charging.  As a final touch I printed the power plug diagram from Breck's site and attached it to the radio.  Radio powered up and tuned to 51 with no issue, 1.1 watts output power.
