Budi, that radio does have a very complex power supply, not like many that had a simple 90V and 1.5V requirement. Those were easy to build or use batteries. Yours requires a large variations of voltages and some high (130V) not really in line to adding a lot of batteries, without a very expensive power supply (from those that build them) not an easy radio to get up running. My best advice is if you like that radio, use it as a nice accent piece for your house but not try to make it work. Sorry but just my opinion.
