That's a cabinet built by Connor or Conner not sure which.
The radio is a AK model 36 which was their first AC powered
set. The separate power supply is in the lower cabinet
behind the model E speaker.

A Grebe-Eisman Synchrophase


That's a strange combo, I wonder what it looks like?

As I recall it was about 20 inches wide and about 8 deep, three tuning
dials mounted horizontally so they came through the panel, linked by a
chain drive aas I recall.

That's a Grebe Synchrophase. There was another company, Eisemann
Magneto Corp., that made some vaguely similar models, except that only
their rheostats were horizontal, not the tuning dials. Freed-Eisemann
(no relation) was also a well-known maker in the 1920s.

I find it interesting how peoples memory works,
or doesn't depending on how you look at it.
I remember years ago, talking to an old guy that was a friend
of my fathers, when he found out I collected old radios he asked
if I had a Kent A****er... I told him he had the names switched
around and it was A****er Kent.
He just stood me down, that I must not know much about
old radios if I didn't know about Kent A****ers, he knew for
sure that was the name cause they had one when he was
growing up....

That must have been a pretty popular model back in the day.......I've
seen no less than five of them at swaps recently in various states of
(dis)repair.

The AK console on the left.... under the metal coffin boxes...
what model # is the radio thats in it?... maybe a 20C
or one of the other breadbox units #33 perhaps?...
yes I have one... that is incomplete.. and need to know
what to look for to complete it....

John, there's one like it except in a pooley cabinet
listed on the bay now.
It has a model AK 33 which is the battery model
that was used to make the model 36 AC set.
It's a neat looking radio with the big E speaker
sticking through the front.

The Grebe Synchrophase was an amazing performer in its day, and
even now. I'd say it was the best unshielded TRF design ever made by
anyone. Grebe sold a lot of them, at $155.
