Question Vintage radio batteries available

I have the opportunity of getting an old radio that is of the battery operated type. My belief is that the battery used was a 90V/1.5V battery. Now in searches I'v found companies out of the UK. that have transformer/power sources that work in this range, additionally 'battery wraps' ie. paper prints to camoflage, oh.. say a Radio Shack battery, to look like a vintage battery, (actually a neat idea) , but, I'v still to locate any source of these type batteries of 'new' construction. I'm not as concerned about authenticity as just being able to power my radio. Ultimatly it will be an indoor radio rather than portable anyway, set up on my display shelving/table lined up and functioning with the rest of my collection. Any leads on the battery source or a method otherwise, would be apreciated.

My Chinese military receiver uses that same voltage. 90VDC & 1.5VDC The D cells for the 1.5Fil and I used a stack of 10 rechargable NMHyDr 9V batteries from Habor Frieght in series making 90VDC and its rechargable. regards, Elmer
