[time-nuts] Sulzer 5A & 5P PSU/battery question

[Magnus Danielson]

Fellow time-nuts,

Yesterday I picked up a Sulzer 5A + 5P without batteries. It is supposed 
to have 21 D-cell NiCd batteries, but today those are not easy to come 
by, so I wonder if I can either run the PSU safely without battery or if 
I can swap in lead-batteries.

I know that some of you have these, so I would value your input.

I did try to run it a short time without batteries, but the 5 MHz output 
did not work very well, so I turned it off.

Cheers,
Magnus
