On a side note and slightly OOT, it always amazed me that anyone would buy a battery only tube radio. "B" batteries were never cheap!
I'm referring to the time when most homes had electricity. Portable, battery only radios were made until about 1956.
Three way portables were only about $5 to $8 dollars more and you can use them all year.
