It's a farm set, so I gotta find a golf cart battery.

I'm planning on going through the electronics soon but the cabinet resto/refinish will have to wait for spring.

The cabinet looks shabby, but that's mostly the finish. there's a few chips/de-laminated areas, but with some carefully cut/matched chunks of walnut veneer, I should have her lookin good
You should check the vibrator power supply to see if it will function, otherwise it doesn't pay to locate a battery. The vibrator is a synchronous self rectifying type.
I also see it has a 3 volt bias cell. I would use a couple carbon-zinc penlite cells. The "C" drain is so low, it's basically shelf-life.
The tubes are filamentary tubes so the have to be a DC source.
