Found a nice Atwater Kent type H chassis & cabinet- PICS

I couldn't pass up the big estate auction they had here in southern MN today. There was a lot of junky stuff but a few things sure were nice.

Does anyone have any info on this Superheterodyne radio? It says type H on the chassis but that is all I know about it.

They said they had it pluged in and working earlier in the day but am not sure if it has been worked on lately or not. I will have to take the bottom off the chassis to see what it looks like.

It looks like he did some type of modification on one of the socket tubes but otherwise looks very nice. They fixed a small tear in the speaker cone but did a very nice job with the repair. The only other flaw I can see is the dial has a few cracks in it most likely from age.

There was a lady nice enough to tell me the speaker is just hooked in the back of the cabinet. She said she had sold one like this and when the guy went to lay it on its side the speaker fell out and landed on the guys bare toe. I guess he must have been wearing sandals. Ouch!
