's an exceptional Model 10 No. 4550 Atwater Kent breadboard, all original and working. I am listening to an oldies station as I write this description. This is one of the more attractive breadboards with it's brass nameplates on the three radio-frequency transformers, condenser tuning cans, and TA unit. All identifying labels are mounted on either brown wrinkle paint or shinny brown bakelite...giving it a finished appearance. I have it connected to an outdoor aerial and it does a respectable job of receiving stations. The five working tubes are included with the set. Along with the tubes is a reprint of the instructions, not a photo copy, but a high-quality exact printing, showing dial settings, power requirements, and operation. T is also a battery diagram showing voltage connections. I recommend a battery eliminator, these are easily found on the net. Please email me any questions.
