Hi Chris
That "39-6520E" is probably prominently marked on the set's tube layout diagram or other paper inside the cabinet, right?
That is NOT the model number. Chuck discusses this to some extent on his site.

Chassis Type 206 = Model 206. Could be very similar to, or very different from, a USA made Philco.
Yes, most collectors usually build a power supply to run their battery sets, since the batteries are now basically unobtainium. But we do have a Phorum member (batterymaker) who specializes in reproducing old-style batteries; you might want to send him a PM.
