Atwater Kent 55
#9

The chassie are fairly the same, all thought the power transformer,chokes, condenser packs, and output transformers are shaped differently than the 60 cycles chassie, both use two 24's for RF, a 27 detector, and a 27 first AF, then the two 71A output in the 25 cycle and two 45's in the 60 cycle , why they did this ,I don't know? Chassie are also market for 71A in the 25 cycle and 45 in the 60cycle . 71A is a 5 or 6 volt heater originally used in battery sets , and I think 45 has a 2.5 heater?
The "little Stove" is a model 50-52, I'd like one also , I found one in a hedge row on a friends family farm once,I should have brought home ,I did get the name plate, one with the ship! I have a 20 big box, I restored in 2004, a 33,35,40,42, 47, the mentioned 55' s, and 558, a 145, and a 60 I have some extras of the mentioned sets, plus parts and chassies ,328,"L",and I think a89, several 55+60, two new in the box Atwater Kent rectifier tubes, and maybe something I've forgotten .What am I going to do with all this?
