Atwater
Kent Model 80, 1931. 7 tubes, super-heterodyne.
This radio was purchased from the Dr. Ralph Muchow
estate auction in Elgin, IL on Aug. 4, 2001.
Muchow's legendary collection, a culmination of a life's
work, was liquidated by Estes Auctions and drew
collectors from all over the world. I purchased
this set for $450, a real bargain considering the high prices
this auction brought. I am honored to become the
custodian of this fine AK cathedral. Read more
about Dr. Muchow in this 1997 Smithsonian Magazine
