THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Knight radios were sold by the Allied Radio Corporation of Chicago. The Allied catalogs have been around since 1929 and offered all things electronic. The company is still in business, having once included Radio Shack. The Knight "Atomic" was nowhere to be found in any of their catalogs. We can't pinpoint a model number for that reason, although it has many characteristics and parts of several 1937 models. The "Atomic" is a seven-tube, three-band (AM,SWx2) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We installed a new power cable, safety fuse, audio input cable and antenna lead. This radio also has the speaker on the right which is something you don't see very often. The cabinet was completely refinished by Gary Marvin, and it is simply stunning! What a beautiful design with Walnut and Mahogany veneers trimmed in Ebony, and Gary ended up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The radio has the original knobs, chassis, 8" speaker, back and dial. We believe this radio could be a one-off, so what a great piece for any collection! 21"W x 10-1/2"H x 9"D.
