Default Re: Help needed Identifying this vintage radio

No problem there at all. Battery voltages are always nominal, falling as the batteries age - particularly so for the zinc-carbon cells which all radios of this vintage were used with - and 1.4 is actually the specified filament voltage for all battery valves of this vintage (though 1.5 or so, as obtained from new cells, won't hurt them).
