Can still buy many of the eveready numbers from exell battery via Amazon. Expensive but possible to buy!

Never have seen one in a physical store, but my memory of stores only goes back to the 80s.

Last time, I seen a price quote, it was $50usd for a 467.

In the past I’ve just hit up the dollar store for a bunch of cheap 9V batteries. A guy could also get 5-6 A23 batteries (the little 12v ones for garage door opener remotes) in series and do that too. I also like Tom’s idea of getting a bunch of 3 bolts in series

I really got into early portable radios from 1939-40, but setting up the A and B batts (1.5V - 90V), although fairly easy, is pricey! If you get quality batts, you're looking at over $40. That hurts when it's more than half what you've spent on the set! You can get them cheaper, but you get what you pay for. I get so excited to hear the set play again that I gladly pay the tab.
