I have a Hacker Sovereign 3, RP72, transistor radio.
It's missing the plastic battery holder, which holds 8 X D type 1.5 volt batteries wired in series.
Does someone know where I can get a holder?
I'm also happy to buy a non-working radio for spares, just to get this item.
Thanks.

Is this the one? :

I guess that holds 2 columns of 4 D cells in each column?

This mob in WA has them listed in its catalogue (scroll down to battery holders and look for BH28D):

And Master Instruments (NSW,VIC,QLD) seems to list them:

They are definitely available in the USA, e.g. :

Hope that helps!
