Default 1920's radios ???

I've never heard/read a single thing about 1930's battery radios. The
ones I know about were all from the 1920's. They take the 201 and 301

Battery radios were made clear into the 1950s or so for use on farms
where there was no commercial AC power. Also there were portable tube
radios that ran on batteries.


I had a Zenith SW that used and ate batteries at a phenomenal rate. Made
in 1952. Had nice audio, but if you played it loud, you sure didn't play
it very long. Batteries cost a lot of money too, and were pretty hard to
find.
