Ive done a few of these 90V but the filament was 1.5v. Anyway I use 60 AA batteries for 90V power. I have soldered in connections for 45V too for other radios. I doubt the AA's cost much more than the 9V ones but you have to solder holders together and yes more time involved. About every 3 years +/- 1 they need replacing if they are a good brand.

I like the sound of the battery radios. They dont have much static type sounds as they arent hooked to your homes power supply. If your fortunate enough to have a long wire antenna that will increase the sound too. My outdoor antenna is about 90 feet long.
