Hi, I have acquired a few vintage radios as well. The one I like the best is a 1939 Philco Barn radio. It was battery powered and actually had good battery life. It did use huge and costly batteries though. I made an AC power supply for it and refurbished it a few years back. However being idle caused it to misbehave. I have just gone through it and replaced a number of capacitors and resistors as well as one tube to get it back to its former glory. I was a the point of refinishing the top of the cabinet when the virus struck so I was hesitant to haul it to the local hardware stores to find out what they thought would match well.
