Sears (Silvertone) did somthing interesting with respect to the pilot light on their model 1923 battery radio. Behind the chassis is a mount for 2 D cell batteries that are exclusively for the pilot light. The switch to turn it on is ganged with the on/volume control. You either pull or push the knob to turn the light on, if memory serves me rightly.
