RE: Citizan Ship radio
Hello John,
The Citizen-Ship TMS transmitter uses a 9 volt battery. Need a bit more info for the receiver's battery requirements. Model munber would help but if it is unreadable on the case a picture with the cover removed might do it. The all transistor Citizen-Ship model ZR receivers used a 9 volt battery while the model KV series used a 15 volt battery. Those with a sub miniature gas tube need a 1.5 volt "A" battery and a 22.5 - 30 volt "B" battery.
Bonner Duramites are 8 wire servos that need a separate 4 cell battery (3 leads center tapped) and a receiver with relays. Be aware that many Duramites were converted to Transmites by their owners as transistors became more popular (and cheaper) in the early 1960's. Transmites have only six wires and only need a reed bank (no relays needed) and the battery is a 5 cell arrangement with 4 leads.
Regards,
Tom
