That's what I'm planning on doing, Arran. Especially since I verified that the vibrator supply actually (amazingly) still works. After recapping I hooked it up to a 6v gel cell battery I had here (which, in turn, was hooked to a battery charger). Not the most ideal set up but for a brief test it showed me that the radio does play, quite well too despite the added buzz between stations from the charger. But I had to leave the eye tube out which was too much of a load for that little battery.

Also amazingly, the original eye tube is still at least 80 % bright, and the 1 meg resistor that's usually always open, still measured 1 meg. Original dial bulbs still both light too. You have to push down on the volume control knob to light the lights.
