Seems there would still be a [small?] market for them?

There's a small market for most obsolete things, usually not a profitable one.

Aye, but even in the 80s/90s I'd have thought there would be a big enough market for a mains-powered battery replacement; so "soon" after 1928 I'm surprised the market disappeared.

I guess everything got designed for mains only.
