It appears the radio is powered by a mercury button cell to which wires have been directly soldered and then wrapped in passe-partout insulation tape. We believe that substituting the current spent cell with a modern watch battery may restore restoration. However, we cannot confirm that it is in working condition hence the price has been reduced accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIrrespective, this is an interesting piece of miniature vintage technology and a nice little project if you should wish to restore it to working order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease click on the following link for more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mullardantiques.co.uk\/collections\/vintage-antique-radios-and-equipment\" target=\"_blank\"\u003evintage radios and accessories.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNB: Accessories shown are for illustration only and are not included in the sale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56298374824311,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/5122\/8972\/products\/Vintage_Miniature_Radio_Fitted_In_A_Snuff_Tin_With_Acos_Microphone_Ear_Bud.jpg?v=1764769350","url":"https:\/\/mullardantiques.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/vintage-miniature-radio-fitted-in-a-snuff-tin-with-acos-microphone-ear-bud","provider":"Mullard Antiques and Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
