Hi and welcome,
Just finished up the cabinet on my 39-80, did the chassis a while back.

If you want to get it going I'd start w/getting a few spools of different colors of plastic covered wire to rewire the battery cable. Something like this http://www.radiodaze.com/whst-22all-8-co...-22all-25/ For more info we should move down to the Restoration section.
I was surprised to hear how loud it plays for a battery set. About half of the weigh of the set is in the spkr. It has a large magnet making it pretty efficient. By running it on dry cells you eliminate the rf noise that is on the ac house wiring.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
