Hello all,
I recently purchased a 1933 Philco Model 54 AC / DC Radio. I know this set ran off 115 Volts Direct Current as well as Alternating Current years ago and Direct Current has phased out far as in home appliances. I was wondering if I could construct a DC battery and operate this radio, or is the DC that they used back then different than battery current? The set doesn't use a transformer and there is no switch to change it from AC to DC. Thanks for your help on this matter.
