Well you have the name but not the model it's not a 60 so try again i'll give a hint when this
was first sold, furniture
makers would offer
cabinets to accommodate
the chassis of popular
radios of the day and the
Kiel Company of Milwaukee
was one of them.

[tekidaho]

Whooaa!! You mean I got the name right:D (major s--t!) and barely missed the #:( (minor) and no ta ta and fireworks!!!:confused: I don't think I like this game too much! :), Chuck

[tekidaho]

I's still tuning in the AK55. Man that was quite different and beautiful. I guess the speaker(s) was/were built into the sides?

my daughter worked yesterday (nurse) so our turkey day was today and I'm running a little sluggish.:)

[tekidaho]

Hey Jim, where do you come up wth this stuff? That little jewell is awsome:)

[tekidaho]

Too large to be a table model.........gotta be an end table model, probably Motorola or Philco or another biggy.
