Atwater Kent Kiel Radio Table
12-04-2023, 06:06 PM
I just picked up a Kiel Radio Table with a model 55C chassis in it. Does anyone know who to tell if it's a late model or an early model? I have found drawing on but some of the voltage test points are different, so I think I need to figure it out, so I know which drawing to use. Although there are not too many differences between the two it appears. Can it be broken down based on the serial number?

If you are a FB member there's a group for that.
When my pals were reading comic books I was down in the basement in my dad's workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to figure out what all those squiggly meant. Circa 1966 Now I think I've got! Terry

I see from the replies you've gotten on FB there's no definitive answer to your question. A lot of changes though a production run for any number of reasons go undocumented. In the early '30s cost could be a good motivation or better performance.
