Atwater Kent 708
#5

I t hink it is close to mine, the 808A
Rubber-coated wiring galore! Woo-hoo! Hoe you are having fun - I replaced about 95% of it, and replacing those going under the RF chassis was the most fun part.
Somehow your wires looks less barren and devoid of insulation than mine.
Mine were fully bare, and the insulation was in a multitude of colorful pieces on my table.


   

Salivating......salivating......se me cae la baba......

Nice radio. AKs are special. Just the stainless chassis is the testament to the AK quality. And their RF shields. And the way their speakers look.
What a shame it had to end like they did. (coming back to our conversation yesterday with people choocing cheap over quality......this trend existed in 30s also).

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
