Hey Doc and welcome to the Phorum,
Yes it is a battery set more commonly known as a Farm Set. As Mike mentioned you can replicate the original battery by using 10 9v batteries in series to make 90v (B battery) and 4 D cells in parallel 1.5v for the filament supply (A battery).
Before you start buying batteries I would take a few measurement to see if the audio output transformer is good. It's a common problem with Philco s from the early 1940's.
Ever hear of Shottsville Al??? Family hometown. Was there once in '69 for a reunion. I was much younger then.
