[R-390] Dry Battery Source

[jlap1939@yahoo.com]

My Friends,

To repeat, and emphasize my last post:

Being a bit limited in my tech. knowledge, I am still
interested in finding out about dry cell/batt manu.
in the modern world..

Was told that in the east, as well as a few old Comm.
bloc nations, these things are still made in diff.
szs.
(much as the Russian tubes),..Also that there was some
"leeway" in actual values, as it is not as hard
to manage as the AC lines we normally use..(Also some
out of Mainland China???)

Odd, but I have run across a few people here recently
who are just "antique" coll., but two have batt radios
frm the 40s/50s and want batterys..I need an odd 16V
for an old VOM I have..as well..Also a 28V for a REAL
antique meter someone else has...

Any chance of that? You know I don't keep up with most
supply methods, and so would appreciate a hint on
this..What I need the  most is diff. sizes of the
67.5 volt "B" type..but wonder about all the port.
mil we used to have (like prc's etc.) Surely there
must be some batts around...Remember I don't have the
time at the Lib. to do a lot of looking..(I know I
must get my own comp..but I still don't want anyone in
my home by line...I don't even have Cab. for TV.!.!.,
and we were thinking of getting rid of the'phone as
well...)

Also still have VTVM by Ballentine Labs, (could use 
batts.) This one has no cover..Free if you can use
it..
(Uses five 1U4 and one 1J5 tubes. Works..).

Other items will be sent 1st of week..

Regards,

John
