1931 Atwater Kent 84 Restore on YouTube
#8

Mike;
Yes I think the R-7 Superettes, and their sister models are pretty bad, especially if you have never dug into one before. The ones I worked on were the Canadian G.E versions, and an Canadian Westinghouse 801 Columnaire, which uses a similar circuit, but in a different chassis, it was much easier to work on by the way because they mounted the #80 and the two #45s on one end of the chassis. I've never actually worked on an A.K, the only one I have is a model 20C battery set, but have worked on lots of Rogers built sets, some of those are not fun with the stupid resistor boards.
Regards
Arran

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