Of all the ideas for powering these things I have seen, the best seems to be making an AC based permanent supply as opposed to bundling store bought batteries to achieve the voltages needed.
Well, depending on how interested you are in the girlfriend, I'd build the AC powered power supply. And replace all the wax caps in the radio, and any electrolytics too.
