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
