My best advice is, turn everything off, make sure the doors are shut, remove the positive battery cable, then put a test light between the battery post and the cable. If it doesn't light, the battery's junk. If it DOES light, then you have a drain, and it's time to start unhooking things to find it. BTW, I've seen slight drains from voltage regulators that need replacing, so that's a possibility too. When dealing with a 50+ year old electrical system, anythings possible.
