THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
Atwater Kent started producing high-quality radios in Philadelphia in 1922 & between 1923 and 1927 produced 1.3 million radios, making them the leading radio manufacturer in America until problems with the unions and the depression. The factory was closed in 1936. This set was made in 1936 and represents the last year Atwater Kent manufactured radios. It is near flawless (9.7)! I believe it to be all original incl. knobs, perfect grille cloth, dial, speaker, etc. Looks closely at the speaker & tranny still has the factory crinkle paint, seriously. Also factory tags inside the cabinet + on the chassis. As tombstones go, it really has a slender, sleek look being only 8"D, yet 17"H. Beautiful multi-colored Killer dial with "two worlds" along with great performance. Model 725 is a five-tube, two-band (SB,SW) set. It is an older restore, but was completed a few years ago by a pro when I placed it in my collection. It plays very, very well on both bands. The 725 has separate lights for each band, and the dial pointer (see white arrow follows as the pointer) is illuminated when the radio is turned on. This is a really nice sounding Atwater Kent, and will definitely grace anyone's collection! Again this is a quality radio so please look closely at the pictures and don't hesitate to ask any questions. The fine radio will be wrapped especially well. 17"H x 13"W x 8"D. |
