Yep, two large 9 volt batteries wired in parallel for more current.

Speaking of hand wired transistor radios, I saw an early Olympic on ebay that used a tube looking chassis, complete with tube sockets with transistors stuck in them. Olympic must have been in a hurry to get a transistor radio on the market; so, they took a tube chassis and modified it's circuitry for transistors. I would have bid on the radio if I still had an ebay account. I think it went for $28.89.
