Paula, that really is a beauty, congratulations. It's the same color styrene (I think) of a Fada that I redid for a friend about a year ago. That one was badly scratched and worn on top, and I had to go through all the grades of wet sanding and finally machine and hand polishing with compound, but it came out new-looking like yours.

It looks like you bit the bullet and bought a B=battery. When that one goes, you can substitute seven or eight 9-volt batteries snapped together in series. They might even fit inside the gutted cardboard container of the B-battery. You can get packs of them cheap at places like Big Lots and they last quite a while. I recently bought 4 D cells, 4 AA cells, and 10 9-volts to power my Radiola III, and I think the total was around $7.00.

Love that translucent green!
