Help with atwater kent model 82
#6

Funny you should mention that. It seems that somehow one of the 35 tubes and the 24 got switched. I just figured this out after doing a closer inspection and about three days work. As for the volume control it measures 598 ohms and the cloth resistor at the lower end measures 675 ohms. Both of these seem acceptable and I have measured all the resistors and have replaced a few. However the back of the vol control is missing and so the power switch. If anyone knows where to obtain one please let me know.

So after all this it works better but the lower half of the freq band is weak to missing. I have done the usual peaking and tweaking but without an alignment procedure is more like diddling and twittling. As for the tuner I have blown out the crud and cleaned the little brass spring contacts. Oh and I found that a piece of 5/16 inch fuel line replaced the rotten tire for the tuner drive very nicely. But still it needs something. Thanks for any help, I will keep at it.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
