Mike;
I haven't gad a look at the schematic but many of those battery radios from the 1930s might surprise you for performance. One thing that they often have in their favor is lower hours then an equivalent AC radio, and a lack of heat, or high voltage, to stress things. If you had the AC version you would still need to take the power transformer out and replace the wires, as well as rebuilding the power supply, in a battery set you get to pick your own design since it's off board.
Regards
Arran
