THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

The Atwater Kent (AK) 82 is one of the most beautiful cathedral radios ever made. The exterior design, stylish and ornate, with burled walnut inlays, exotic African zebra wood, and elegant spiral pillars with indented button blocks, was protected by Patent USD85974S (Bradley). I have produced a museum quality finish with no less than eighteen coats of lacquer & three sanding operations. I also refinished inside, rear and bottom for a spectacular presentation. The AK 82 is a performance standard of the period & the 8-inch speaker sound is deep and rich. I have re-stuffed all caps, tested and updated all components and cables as necessary. The set is fully aligned per AK's OEM specs. The illuminated dial has a stunning patina. This AK 82 had "advanced technology" AVC employing a "control tube" to vary the gain of the first two stages. For knock-down, drag-out, eye catching curb appeal, you will be hard pressed to beat this radio. It will be the conversation piece of your collection. I put a lot of effort into this beauty. I hope you will agree it was worth it. AKs were among the best of their time, and this is a great example of that commitment to quality. Few know Atwater Kent closed his factories rather than cut the performance of his radios to meet the price points required to survive the Great Depression. One small veneer repair at the bottom rear. Requires external antenna. 19"H x 15-1/2"W x 10"D.
