The original 6V batteries were PP1 type, only available from specialist suppliers at fairly eye watering prices..... £10+.

Your best bet would be to use a couple of 4-AA battery holders with suitable "press stud" connectors (which are readily available, either as such or robbed from a dead PP9 battery).

Rechargeable AAs are readily available as are cheap alkaline ones.
