I've got a Philco 32V tombstone that I bought out of the old ARC magazine, years ago. After getting the radio, it had a standard AC power plug with a big red tag hanging off the cord that said "32 VDC ONLY!" Well, after examining the radio, it was evident that someone didn't pay attention to the tag and plugged it into 120 VAC. I guess one of these days, I'll pull it out and try to fix it.
A lot of collectors shy away from any kind of battery set because they don't want to bother with a battery pack or building an AC power supply.
