This set used 2 volt battery tubes in a series parallel arrangement to add up to 6 volts so they could be run from a car battery of the era. It's a farm set from the mid to late 30s or so, yes it can be fixed up to work but it's not as straightforward as a normal battery set with "A" and "B" batteries. Aside from the tubes all of the other important parts look like they are still there.
Regards
Arran
