Tubes for the 1920's are no longer commonly available.  The 1A5 pentode from 
the 1930 is still available for about $5.
I modified the radio to accept the 1A5's.  The radiola III requires four 
battery voltages 5V, 1.5 V, 20V, and 40V.  I am making and AC adapter for the 
radio.  I did not want two boxes so I made a box that the III will set in.  The 
lower portion of the new box will contain the power supply.
If I get it working I will post a video the nascent technology at work.
