Strange Sort Of Portable Radio

[NoTransistors]

My g.f. just gave me an old portable radio with a soldered-in crystal earphone- no speaker.
Now for the strange part. It is designed around three teenie-weenie tubes, and requires a 1.5 volt [silver]battery and a 45 volt battery.
I recall that my parents had a tube portable that also required some hard-to-get batteries [even back when I was a kid]. Never heard it play because of those darn batteries.
Anyway, at least that one had a speaker.
Neat Japanese design. Is it worth finding the batteries? Does it have any [Edited by moderator] value?
