I used a Meissner replacement 456 kHz Oscillator Coil.

I just used a couple of 1.2v NiMH Rechargeable Batteries to power the filaments on this thing. I have a Radio Shack 2 D Cell battery clip that is wired up to a 1N4007 diode for voltage drop and I put my rechargeable D batteries in there.

I was actually able to get about 3 1/2 hours of play time out of the radio with that setup with plenty of juice to spare, and my D batteries weren't even fully charged! :^D

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
