Battery Radios
Welcome to the battery radio photo gallery. "PAA" means this radio was Photographed At Auction and is not in my collection. If a dollar value appears after PAA it means I noted what someone other than me paid for the radio. DEIL means Dominion Electrohome Industries Ltd.

NOTES:
27oct06 Thanks to Tom Laszynski of the Oklahoma Vintage Radio Club for shipping a top or lid for the AK-55. It arrived today.
2oct06 Don had planned to disassemble the Atwater-Kent 55. Powder paint the case black as original, re-chrome the chassis and other small chrome parts. Rewind transformers that needed to be rewound. Then try it out with the Radiola 100 speaker. Unless someone could have provided Don with metal "lids" to replace the two transformer covering "lids" he would have had to fabricate them.
