Hi Chris

A two-volt storage battery (172R) or a two volt dry battery (P-166) and a combination B-C dry battery (P-962). The B-C battery supplies the following voltages: 135, 67-1/2, -3 and -7.

If used with the dry battery, the original Philco specifications called for a Type 6 ballast tube to be used. Otherwise, there is a metal jumper across the large pins of the Type 6 socket.

The 38B performs well, if you don't mind the lack of AVC.

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