Dear fellow Philco fans, I have recently aquired a great little Philco portable, model 50-621, which looks like it will only need the usual recaps, very clean interior. I would like to know if any of you out there have this particular model, and if so, does anyone play this model with a battery equivalent? it would be great to have this radio be truly portable again, as I know the original battery hasn't been made in years. I've seen new battery packs offered for Zenith T/O's which use D cells, or even AA's. Does such a remanufactured battery exist for this model Philco? Thanks for any info. BOBC, Cincinnati Ohio
