Heres my mot wards radio.. It uses the same A and B voltages. Works great with the mess of batteries as you described.

My g/f bought it for $3 and gave it to me.. Sadly, i had to replace EVERY tube in it because someone blasted ALL the filaments with the wrong voltage trying to power it.. (All original WARDS tubes were present)

Its fun to take it out from time to time and power it up.. Icon_smile
