I might try that the next time I am in the radios to swap batteries. I noticed the earlier 'A' model doesn't tend to rattle the case like the later two with the reed speakers. One bad thing I've read about these radios is that they tend to be battery eaters. I've seen claims of only 30 hours on modern 9 volt batteries, even recapped. Guess there was a reason why GE used an expensive, chunky 9 volt in these! Oh, and one site even claimed the magnets can fall off the reed speakers, though both of mine seem good and strong. As far as batteries go, wonder how a high end lithium battery would do in these? I think I've seen 9 volt versions of those.
