If you're an uncompromising collector of antique technology, make sure to check out all my listings after you look at this one. I don't think you'll find a better, broader or more balanced assortment of technical antiques anywhere -- hundreds of no-reserve auctions each year, almost all of them featuring eye-popping "gee whiz" gadgetry in exceptional original condition. And don't forget, you can click this link to quickly add and then save me to your favorite seller list... and Ebay will automatically send you updates when I put similar new auctions online.
Here's a beautiful 1922 Atwater Kent 3975, better known as the Model 4. This a home-wired set built on a later made board with original factory parts, and it's in very good condition throughout. It comes with two brass base tipped tubes for display.
Pictures should tell the story. Clean, glossy bakelite everywhere, with no chips, no cracks, no haziness, no issues. The engraved numbers and hash marks on the dial of the Variocoupler and Mounted Variometer are still crisp and clear, and there is no damage to the fragile backing plates. The wire on the tuners is still tightly wound, and the paint on the TA island is original, with normal discoloration/deterioration. All of the binding post nuts are present and in good condition.
Potting tar inside the TA island is original, and the original AF transformers are good.
The radio is being offered for historical purposes only, with no assurances stated or implied that it's still suitable for broadcast reception.
