two batteries. IIRCC, B batteries lasted about 6 months, while C
batteries were good for a couple years. There wasn't much recreational
listening - news at breakfast and supper, Proctor and Gamble hour in
the afternoon for mother, Friday night boxing (Gillette) and Hockey
night in Canada with Foster Hewitt (I don't think a game went by that
Grandmother didn't go change into her nightie after the Leafs scored a

earn a living!
