Curious, I don't think I have seen a 6 volt Rogers built set, most run on "A,B,C" batteries. In any event if it was AC operated I would have guessed on it being a five tuber, all of the better models have a tuning light center of the pointer, obviously a battery set would not. I don't know if I would want to mess with a battery set converted to AC, that can range between someone building a proper off board battery eliminator, and installing it in the back, to absolute hack jobs.
Regards
Arran

P.S The first console is an RCA model not a Westinghouse, there is an RCA Victor decal below the tuning knobs.
