THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Among the most beautiful and most popular of the Cathedrals, you would have to count this stunning Atwater Kent 82 from 1931/32. One of the most stylish and ornate of all the cathedrals I have restored. I decided to go with gloss finish for this beauty, and it is extraordinary! 18 coats of lacquer, three sanding operations and a nearly perfect, slick finish, possibly the best I have ever done. The sound from the near perfect 8-inch speaker is deep and rich. Unlike many restorers, I finish the inside, rear and bottom. All new caps including stuffing all of the originals and resistors as necessary. I replaced most of the rubber wiring and gave it a full alignment. The dial is a reproduction. The model 82 had one of the very first efforts at AVC, employing a "control tube" to vary the gain of the first two stages. It will take some getting used to, but the sound is worth it. For knock-down, drag-out, eye catching curb appeal, you will be hard pressed to beat this radio. I have over 150 hours in this one, and I gave it my absolute best. I hope you will agree, and spruce up your collection with this amazing radio.
