Atwater Kent 20 Big Box
#5

Some things you need to know about your AK 20 Big Box:

1. the RF stage grid resistors are open (simple 500-600 ohm resistors).
2. one or both of the audio transformers are open (replacements are available)
3. the detector grid resistor is open (common 2 meg)
4. the tuning condensers will most likely need some disassembly for contact cleaning and bending.
5 the filament rheostats will need to be removed for contact cleaning.
6. a miniature 8 or 40 ohm speaker can be used in the horn with the right transformer
7. you will need a power supply (recommend an ARBE III) to power it.

You can contact me at any time for assistance

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
