Hi, I found Philco Radio 47H for sale pretty cheap in my area. Cabinet looks in good shape it has 2 speakers and as far as I can tell from the pictures this is a 47H model which is 120 VDC only. I have a couple of questions before buying it, is it worth restoring since I'd have to build a 120v ac to dc converter to operate it, and how difficult is it to build one? Second, the owner said he plugged it in, probably didn't realize it was DC only, and stated it was loud static coming out of the speakers. Could he have damaged the radio by plugging into AC directly? Thank you,
