I am new to Philco Radios and would like more info on a radio I bought. First off, its a 37-623 battery operated unit but I don't have the battery. What kind of battery do I use? Should I try to fire it up or have it cleaned first? Should I restore the cabinet or leave it as is? Is a battery operated unit unusual? Is it valuable? Any info you can provide would be awesome!

I bought this in the hopes of turning it around for a quick buck. After finding out how old it is and thought about what it may have experienced in the last 70 years, I think it's too neat to let go and want to bring it back to life. This radio could have announced Pearl Harbor to an American family! Green Lantern saga's. The Shadow. How cool is that?
