If you're an uncompromising collector of antique technology, make sure to check out all my listings after you look at this one. I don't think you'll find a better, broader or more balanced assortment of technical antiques anywhere -- hundreds of no-reserve auctions each year, almost all of them featuring eye-popping "gee whiz" gadgetry in exceptional original condition. And don't forget, you can click this link to quickly add and then save me to your favorite seller ...list and Ebay will automatically send you updates when I put similar new auctions online.

Here's a factory-built 1924 Atwater Kent 4660 breadboard radio, better known as the Model 9c. 
With the exception of a period replacement B+ bypass capacitor on the underside of the board, the radio is original throughout, including the brown enamel on the metal "cans, " the windings on the RF coils, the binding posts and related hardware, the wiring on the underside of the board, and of course the board's finish. Moreover, there are no gaps between the main board and the endcaps, no swelling or warping either.  The chocolate brown bakelite on all the parts is clean and undamaged, with no issues  The engraved numbers and hash marks on the dials are crisp and legible, and the brown crinkle paint on the tuner housings and TA can is original and in excellent condition.  The feet and staples on the underside of the board are original, as are the paper tags. 

Transformer test results: Secondary #1 -- 3050 Ohms; Secondary #2 -- 2610 Ohms; Primary #1 -- OPEN; Primary #2 -- 1830 Ohms. 
The radio comes with a complete set of good brass base, tipped tubes. All of the tubes have good emissions.
Overall, a really nice, unmolested Model 9, the smallest open mounted TRF radio that Atwater Kent manufactured. The radio is being offered for historical and/or collecting purposes only, with no assurances that it is suitable for modern broadcast reception.
Measures approximately 20" wide by 10" deep.  Shipping weight approximately 20 lb.

That's about it. I will pack everything carefully and properly, and I can assure you that it will show up at your doorstep in the same fine condition in which its leaves mine.  I have been shipping antique phonographs and radios for years, and if you check my feedback, you'll see that I know how to do it correctly.
