Congratulations ! That is a very cool set. I am surprised you have never tried it. Years ago I bought a Radiola Sr. also a regenerative one tube radio. I have made a 22 1/2 volt B battery for it, and bought a replica A  battery for it, With a decent antenna and ground it is actually very sensitive and selective, and will pick up stations from hundreds of miles away.

Love it!

The Chelsea is using a '99 adapter. That speaks to say it could use a WD-12, 200a, 201a..

Great replica batteries. Don't you just hate to use plastic covered modern wire for hookups... I certainly do, since Radiodaze is getting out of the parts biz there is little hope in finding battery harnesses and quality textile covered wire...

BTW, I need just one, maybe two of the Chelsea diagonally knurled battery nut for my Green Concert 2-step amp. It is a work in progress that could be helped by someone providing a picture of their amp.

I'm really not that picky. I use modern wire for hooking up the batteries to the binding posts. Fortunately there are other sources for cloth covered wire. You can find them shown here in various posts. Here is one source, they carry quite a selection of colors:   https://www.tubesandmore.com/products/wi...cover-600v     They also carry other wire we can use, check this whole section:  https://www.tubesandmore.com/products/wire
