Heathkit-GR-78

[Mike Bryce]

A simple fix for the dead battery pack is to use two of the four AA 
holders and connect them together with snap on connectors like the ones 
use in transistor radios. the entire shebang can be heat shrinked into 
a nice small package that is hard to tell from the original.

that's assuming you get the radio working
