Hi Thanks for all the replies.
Does any one know where I could find a battery for a set 58 then?

Batteries for this set haven't been made for decades. They were also notorious for short shelf life. Best bet is to make your own. Voltages needed are +1.5V, +150V, +90V & -21V. The EMER F702 shows pinouts of the octal socket.

I can't recall where I found this but here is a photo of the original battery.

Two other alternatives are the PSUs made in Italy. They seem to work quite well.

Thanks Bruce, well a non functional battery would be fin, but it looks fairly simple in shape could you take some more pictures and measurements if its yours on the picture?

The battery wasn't mine but I can give you the dimensions of the inside of the battle battery box. The battery should be quite close.

Inside dimensions are 10" length, 2.75" width & 8.75" depth. There is a felt lining inside as well to make the battery snug. It is 1/4" thick on the ends & 1/8" thick on the sides.
