1920s Atwater-Kent Model 46
#4

I ended up giving up on it, because the chassis had tons of rust on it and most of the mounting screws were rusted to the point that if you tried turning them with a screwdriver the heads just stripped out, and the grid leak resistor was measuring open and some of the RF coils were in really bad shape with some open windings and shorted turns and other issues, and the speaker cone was severely warped from water damage, and the surround was gone and had crumbled to pieces. 

I let the guy that I was working on this radio for know and he said he was just going to try and put it on ebay and see what he could get out of it just selling it as a parts unit.

If someone on here that lives within an hour or two of me was interested in this radio I could post some pictures on here of the unit and talk to the owner of the set and see what kind of a price we could work out and go from there.

Thanks,

Levi

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
