Kennedy Cathedral Radio Identification
#3

Arran,

Thank you for your reply.  I do intend to refurbish the radio and will re-stuff the capacitors.  First time I have seen this type of Sprague capacitor.  I was also curious how the original radio was finished.  I had seen some photos of Kennedys with pilasters on the sides, but think this one may have had veneer panels instead.  An individual had responded to my inquiry on the Antique Radios Forum and sent me a thread back from 2013 about a collector that had the same problem that I did.  His radio was in great shape, but he too was having trouble making a proper id as his chassis indicated 66A and it was obvious that this was not correct.  He had also concluded, after some research that it may be a model 1872, but was unable to locate a schematic.  Since you were curious, I have attached a picture that I will probably use as a guide to refinish the cabinet.  

Thank you again for the information.  Much appreciated.  

George R
