Atwater Kent Modern Drawings Index

20 Nov 2013 - All drawings are being updated for consistent style, and adding new information.
01 Mar 2004 - Added battery connection diagrams to all battery set schematics.

I am redrawing many of the vintage Atwater Kent schematics. The new versions will include voltages, parts numbers and values.

In keeping with the convention adopted in our magazine articles, I will only use
radio model numbers that were actually assigned by the factory.

Such is not the case for many early breadboards, which carry the notation (our model #), indicating that
a model number has been adopted in the modern literature which was not issued by the factory.

I am also creating original drawings of some components, which will facilitate
creation of modern replacements if vintage parts are not available.

This is an ongoing project, so check back often, and request anything you need that's not already here.

Note regarding the 4375 Model 12 Radiodyne:

No such model was ever manufactured by the Atwater Kent company.
No reference has been found to such a set in any original AK literature or source.
This model was invented by one collector as an example of what such a set might look like.
