      I loved that TV tuner cartridge.

      Had a pair of NiCad battery packs in the end - folks got sick of buying the ‘good’ alkaline batteries for it. Always had one on boil while the other was draining.

      Like a 30lb lead acid?

      I could see using like a powerwheels sized 1980s battery. Or a couple of lantern batteries even.

  I think one of those attachments are actually for a 12V 70Ah car battery
