Status: offline 		I know these are sought after vintage radios. They still have the originall servos and receivers. I'm curious about the batteries they used and what I should look for in this collection to see if I have them. I may keep them to start a collection of old radios and would like to learn more about them. Thanks in advance for any information on history and/or value of these systems.

You can also read the original article in Grid Leaks by downloading 1963 vol 4 no 6 from here:- http://www.gridleaks.roguebay.com/
The Sampey 404 is highly desirable to collectors and would command a high price
