I was wondering about that. can you still get it to work on batteries as well or will it only work on AC now?

It's a battery only set and it is easy to get these going. This one is dead at the moment, but most will play without any repairs. Not as good as they can, but you will usually hear something out of them. Some have a blown set of tubes, or something is open.
Yes, the dial has the second metered strip. I always saw that as a way to make a basic one band dial seem like it has an extra band.
*also, init4fun - Yes, hooking up the batteries is really easy. Some put a small battery eliminator in them, but then you have the cord sticking out of the enclosed rear cover, and you get the AC-line noise. On batteries these sound wonderful. Once you get one, you soon have several more. They're cheap and have a lot of charm. I'm up to 15! All '38-'41 models.
PS - I didn't catch why model number 420 is particularly appealing! (?)
