In late 1927 the Atwater Kent
Company had to rush into production an AC powered radio to compete with
the Radiola 17 that used the new AC tubes developed by RCA. Atwater Kent
achieved this by using components already in production. The RB Battery
Eliminator was combined with the Model 33 (both were modified) and the
result was the Model 36. Only a few sets were produced before the set
was redesigned. The new set had a different front panel and the wiring
harness card was mounted inside the power supply cabinet. By 1928
Atwater Kent introduced the Model 37 metal set and no longer produced
the Model 36. The early Model 36 is quite rare and I was forced to
restore a set that was in rather bad shape in order to add this set to
my collection.
