here's a beautiful example of a well taken care of, Mid 40's. I'm guessing sometime in 1945 to be exact Airline\Montgomery Ward 5 tube 6Volt Battery Powered Farm Radio, I do not know if this set works or not and I never will I'm selling it. it's a wonderful radio but I just need the money more. the cabinet is in wonderful condition as is everything else about it...
(More Info)
in the back you can see two Wires and a strange Plug with four prongs, the two wire's are leads for an External Antenna AKA an outdoor 100 to 150 Foot Wire Antenna, the Four prong din type tube socket looking thing is the main's power source for this radio, I'm not Exactly Sure how it would have plugged in to the battery, or if it needed some kinda middle man piece of Equipment like an inverter. or some form of voltage regulation it's just a thought because it has four pin's so you have your Positive + you're Negative - and Ground but because it's a single wire for ground and there's two extra Wire's and most all radios of this Period, are grounded to the chassis. and there's a Variable Control Switch for batteries on one side it say's New, and the other say's used so I believe those to extra wires go to the switch. if any one knows More please Share.

From what I can gather some battery valve radios like this needed not one - but two batteries; an LT and an HT battery. Random example. You'd need to find some sort of info on that radio first btw. (My apologies btw, I do not live in the US; I'm in the UK).
