Bring a Battery-Operated Radio Back to Life

Make your vintage battery radio ready for the next listening session without searching for replacement A, B and C batteries. This line-isolated antique radio battery eliminator is offered as an AC-powered supply for compatible battery-operated tube and farm radios. Picture the familiar dial lighting up again as you finish a careful restoration or set up a favorite radio for display and listening.

Match the A-B-C Outputs to Your Set

The selectable A (filament) supply is listed as A6 at 6.0–6.5 V or Ax at 1.25–5.5 V, rated 2.5 A with the cover installed. Listed B (plate) outputs are +135 V at 80 mA, 90 V at 60 mA, 67.5 V at 45 mA, and 45/22.5 V at 5 mA. Listed C (grid) outputs are -4.5, -9 and -22.5 V at 2 mA; the A supply is isolated from B and C. Before connecting a radio, check its required voltages, current draw, polarity and wiring against the user manual. Universal does not mean every radio is automatically compatible.

Designed for the Restoration Bench

Use this vintage radio power supply for a compatible bench setup or a more permanent AC-powered installation. The listed AC input is 85–265 V, 50/60 Hz, with a US Type A plug. The enclosure measures 6.5 × 4 × 2.75 inches and the listed weight is 28 oz. Two indicators show supply power and whether the connected radio is drawing plate current. The listing specifies thermal-overload and short-circuit protection and includes a user manual and nine-conductor cable.

  • Operating temperature: 0–35°C
  • Standby power: less than 3 W with the supply on and radio off
  • Made on demand; allow up to 15 days for delivery, as stated in this listing

Confirm your radio's power requirements and connector wiring before ordering; the output voltages include hazardous levels and should be handled with appropriate care.
