Looks like a good find! What kind of shape are the innards in? Pretty
good, or a lot of work to get going?



So far I have not tested the Bakelite radio but the guy I got it from
said it was working.

The R-100 will need some work but basically it does function,
the other two will need work. One had the oscillator coil
removed...though it was included, I assume it to be bad.
I have not looked through my junk box yet...

This will be a winter project and now that I'm retired I don't care of
it takes me 20 years to restore them.

LOL, sounds like a good winter-time project. I'm envious - I wish I had
time to do similar things. I really enjoy restoring old gear.

I'd love to find an old A****er Kent with the cabinet in decent
condition and the electronics repairable. It would go well with the
Edison cylinder phonograph and other antiques in our living room.

Since my last post I did test the Bakelite set and it works.

Will need dial lights and re-capping.


Since you mentioned A****er Kent I am now reminded that I need to find a
replacement audio transformer for mine.
