Atwater Kent mod.75
#1

I have a chance to buy an A.T. mod 75. In good condition. But I"am sure it will need some cap. replacement. Does anyone know if these sets have the rubber wires that I hear get very brittle and hard to work with? Thanks PS. They want 75.00 for this set. Seems like a good price. It is a console.
#2

Is that the lowboy floor type? Seems nice.

Also AK were known for their quality. Don't know about rubber-coated wires, but I'd get it anyway for 75 bucks. Price matches the model. Icon_smile

Hi MORZH, Its a lowboy floor type. I have trouble linking on here. But it is just like pic on radio museum site.
#4

I'd say if it is in good shape, $75 is a steal for a nice AK set. Go for it! Icon_smile

No matter where you go, there you are.
#5

I just got back with the AK. Cabinette in real good shape. Will require some work on chassis. I will try to post pic of it soon.
#6

If I looked up the right model, it is a radio-phono set. Either way, I think you made a good choice! Icon_smile

No matter where you go, there you are.

I do feel good about the buy jayce. You are correct, radio-phono set.
#8

Now the fun begins. Any atwater kent owners out there that might know where to get the schematic for mod. 75? I checked nostalgia air. There is only 2 pages about phono pick-up. Is maybe one of the other mod. the same schematic I.E. the 74 ? Thanks for any help. Mike

I hope this works.
#14

The finish looks a little tired and bleached out compared to the highboy console sitting next to it, but at least it is all there and hasn't sat in a damp basement.
