Well I rigged up the HT/GB battery and 2 D cells and a diode to get a 2V output, and with a bit of fiddling (I've never tuned a TRF set before) got the radio working. The sound quality is superb it sounds really really good. I will certainly have a go at that 2V regulator circuit tho.

Now the tricky bit, sorting out the woodworm holes!
