Yea, a system that old might have a cabinet, roughly 1/2 the size of a modern electrical panel, with a fairly large, and fairly dead old school battery, still hooked up to a trickle charger. The batteries were very similar to the ones you find on lawn tractors and motorcycles. The way to confirm this would be to dump the main disconnect breaker in the service panel. No low voltage available means that you have a 120Volt to 12 Volt converter still connected somewhere (unlikely). Continued low voltage means that you are still draining a very tired battery.
