Charlie,
The power supply pops on the back and is held by two pins that are sort of like bananna
plugs.
There should be a ring , if it is still attached, to to pull it out.
The ac cord comes out a grommet in the power supply.(rear face)
The dc supply of course is without this feature. (;>) It uses c cell batteries.
Either power supply uses an minature tube socket and plug to connect the
radio,internally, so when you unplug the supply from the cabinet, don't yank it out very
far until you unplug the internal connector.
The radio uses a positive ground so be careful if you try external supplies.
I added a 7912 regulator to the ac supply, plenty of room.
If this was not sufficiently confusing, let me know.
73,
John WB4NNY
