What battery type and number of cells were used in this radio?

 

The battery compartment floor shows just two batteries engraved on the plastic cabinet. The useful space to install batteries is around 148 mm in length and 21 mm in diameter.

If the radio runs on 6V, then it would make sense to use four 1.5V dry cells even considering the alleged  manufacturing date of ealry 60's. But four dry cells do not fit inside no matter what model is chosen.

So probably two uncommon sized dry cells were chosen for this model. Could it be something like this one?

  • 3V "Duplex" / "Ever Ready No. 8" / "2R10" sized as 21.8 × 74.6 mm
