    Hello
    I have an older hand held radio and the batteries are no longer working. Is it possible to replace them with regular batteries that I buy in a store? Where would I find a battery holder for my model radio?
    Can you please suggest a couple numbers that I can contact for information.
    Thank You,
    Joie Goodwin
