harvest Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I had this radio in storage for many yrs and it time to figure out what car it may have been from? I would think 1935/36 era? Its a Atwater Kent 926 with speaker, I couldn't find a similar unit anywhere. any help much appreciated. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) There is a site dedicated to vintage radios from all over the world called Radio Museum. They date the radio to 1934. I'm pretty sure that it was an aftermarket radio, for use in any brand of vehicle, rather than one specific brand. Here's a link to the site, www.radiomuseum.org Edited July 19, 2018 by Hudsy Wudsy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I think that I should add that while it's manufacture dates to '34, it could have easily sat on a shelf in an auto parts store for some time after that. It's the style that was frequently mounted, by way of a clamp, to the steering column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
