Vidor Suitcase AC/Battery Henley Portable Radio - Model CN426 - 1953

This Vidor portable radio gives me a bit of grief. I haven't been beaten by a radio yet, will this be the first?
This radio was Kindly donated to me by Darren in the UK.

My Digital Signal Generator:
The Signal Generator is a project kit from a local electronics magazine called Silicon Chip, there is a sister publication in the UK called Practical Electronics, it was featured in the April 2018 edition but mine has a oscilloscope function as well which I don't use. There may be a later edition in PE with that feature.
