The 1C6 can be replaced with a 1A6.
I checked over my 2 volt battery set. At the time, I built the power supply using a transformer from a scrap VTVM. I didn't have a regulator chip at the time, so I just used discrete components.

I'm curious, if I were to use some 1.2V NiMH rechargeable D batteries to power the filaments in this radio (2 1.2V batteries in series would give me 2.4V roughly) what kind of diode or what size of dropping resistor would I need to drop the extra .3V to get the voltage down to the 2.1V I need for the tube filaments?
Or would it not matter in this case?
Thanks for your help.
