Hello Buzz! Around that 21 min mark was the most excitement I've had in 63 1/2 years! That hammered paint was just the ticket. I can tell you that I've been hammered a few times also but not from paint but something a tad stronger. I did get nervous from that scewus driverus close to the cone but it worked out great. GODFREY DANIELS!! Buzz makes his own trim pieces! That's an incredible amount of talent. Buzz is the Best in the West and in the East, the North and the Sunny South. Buzz, I really enjoyed this four part series. I think the radio looks fabulous and is sexy too. I think she's better than new. Old Atwater Kent would definitely approve. P.S.Thanks for the time capsule of America's past time.

[@umajunkcollector]

Nearly 70, and i have not been to Clevrland stadium to see the Browns or Indians. I went to the old stadium once in 72 to see Billy Graham, and did the alter call. And i have not gone up into the infamous Terminal Tower that my grampa helped build in the early 30s. And never been to the R9ck n Roll hall of Fame. i am a native born Clevrlander, but missed out on most of the tourist places. I worked downtown during the 70s, and did enjoy going aboard the USS Cod submarine, Severence symphonie hall, and the meseums near there. I traveled around the ciry on buses and the rapid traans. Watching the ball game brought a flood of memories, I used to watch or listen to ball games too.

Clever sardine can restuffing. Coil rewinding is the hardest part. You have to pay attention and neither of us has that much moola. Rebuilt choke looks good. Speaker repairing is a dicey proposition but you sailed right through it. Say what you will about old Atwater kent radios. They are built like the proverbial tank. Glad it works great Buzz cause you did so much to make it look fantastic again.

Buzz, that's a beautiful radio, and it sounds great. I gotta hand it to you, I'm always amazed at the outcome of each project you do, and this one may be the best. In a way, you re-designed enough chassis parts, you ought to put your own engraved plate on the chassis, "Restored by Buzz Radio 2024". I have one question, and there may be no answer to it, though I ask anyway. On the station dial, I notice the marks are closer together in the 90-100 range than they are in the 100-110 range. Actually there is variability all the way from end-to-end. The marks 55-60 are wider apart than at 140-150. Is there any reason for this, or were they doing dial marks free-hand in 1931 ?

[@Buzz1151]

haha..my ego wouldn't allow for that!...as for your question...I guess that the dial was made on how the radio tracked...??..I'll ask Atwater Kent on my next seance..haha👍👍
