Atwater Kent 55
#6

Is there a forum for Atwater Kent as good as the one here for Philco?
I LIKE antique radios Awater Kent and Zenith and what else that falls in aphabetically
This old A K 55 came out of a small town in northern NY I believe they had there own power plant, witch must not have run 60 cycles all the time,another difference is the output ,both chassie have a push/pull, but the 25 cycle uses 71A's and the 60 cycle uses 45's. I originally bought it thinking it had apair of 45! The chassie is not as nice as the cabinet, chassie looks like it had been stored in the basement , some one had removed the shelf the chassie sat on ,must have had "BIG" plans on doing somethink with it, I got another shelf from the parts radio I may restore that chassie or another one I have.
