Anybody know the model number of this radio (chassis). Supposedly a DC version of the Philco model 70. Facinating! I want to add this one to my want list (complete, of course). I have the DC version of the AK 84 which also has a big light bulb inside!

It seems to be the Model 70, the DC version. If you're into battery sets, this looks like a good opportunity.

It's a Model 46. There never was a DC version of the Model 70.
