Truetone battery-powered tube "farm" radio

This is a battery powered tube radio I got at the local hamfest for $1.00 several years ago. All of the wiring was rubber and had to be replaced, and I put in new caps. I'm using 10 9-volt batteries for the B supply and 1 D cell for the A. Temporarily I'm using a 9-volt battery and potentiometer to supply the 4.5 volt negative bias voltage till I can get some more battery holders for some AA cells. It works very well and has plenty of sound output.
