I love the farm radios Icon_thumbup

They have always been fascinating to me. I have several although only 2 are restored and working at the moment. One is a 1938 Zenith 7 tube set which can be used on AC or a 6V battery by turning a switch on the rear. It performs just as well on 6V and the quiet sound of the vibrator humming away is exactly what they would have heard if using a wincharger. Very nostalgic. Great sets to collect Icon_biggrin
