Atwater Kent Model 165About tne years ago i got interested in old radios, mostly zeniths. A dear elderly friend of the family was nice enough to give me this atwater kent that i believe they bought new. She said they used it for years before moving it to the garage to play over the work bench. The cord got old so they cut it and then ujst put the radio away. I never had the heart to tell her that i didn't care much for cathedral style radios, it was such a thoughtful gift. She died a few years ago so i've decided to let this go to a good home wehre someone can appreciate it. The case is solid with few minor nicks or scratches, the fniish is good but a little thin around the base, decals are complete and tight. The broken piece in the grill is the only serious flaw, but i suspect na easy fix using the other side as a reverse pattern. Tuner dial turns freely, but i don't know if this radio works or not. It appears complete and original and i don't think anyone has ever refinished it. The photos seem to be a pretty accurate assessment of cosmetics no worse or better than it appears. Feel free to ask questions, and i'll get back asap. These days your guess is a good as mine no shipping costs. I would think $25.00 will cover it. Good luck and happy bidding! |
