Atwater Kent 708
#10

Rob,

Yes I actually wrote that 708 was a tabletop version of 808A but then I deleted that as the chassis does look a smidge different. I heard that before though. And it uses the same location of the knobs and the same kbobs also.

I actually saved the wires going inside the RF coild as they are potted with some black resin and it would be a disaster trying to change them. Plus, an interesting thing, some colored wires we still good and pliable: it really depends on the color. I think yellow ones did not require replacement.

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.
