Since C and D batteries are both 1.5 volts (they differ only in size and energy storage), you can build a makeshift D to C "adaptor" with a few regular, conductive, George Washington quarters.  Just insert them into your gizmo as pictured and you're good to go.  <I>Photo by <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lenore-m/595987667/">L.
