I have found that most eBay listings that state a radio "works" usually means "the tubes and dial lamp light up." Icon_confused Icon_rolleyes Icon_evil (To be fair, there are some honest sellers out there, though.)

As far as I know, no. I think they too have switched over completely to 60 cycle AC.
