NOTES:

27oct06    Thanks to Tom Laszynski of the Oklahoma Vintage Radio Club for shipping a top or lid for the AK-55. It arrived today.   

2oct06    Don had planned to disassemble the Atwater-Kent 55. Powder paint the case black as original, re-chrome the chassis and other small chrome parts. Rewind transformers that needed to be rewound. Then try it out with the Radiola 100 speaker. Unless someone could have provided Don with metal "lids" to replace the two transformer covering "lids" he would have had to fabricate them.
