Reinhard Brothers Style Model 4 (See Homebrews & NonFactory Sets)

The Atwater Kent No. 3975 (Model 4) Receiving Set was one of the earliest and rarest in the legendary "breadboard" line, introduced in early 1923. This set was a three-tube Tuned Radio Frequency (TRF) circuit, comprised of a detector and two stages of audio amplification, and it featured four main components on the board: a variocoupler, a variometer, detector and the amplifier island. Unlike the Model 1, 2, and 3, the Model 4 was engineered to be sold as a complete system that was regenerative from the factory. Board dimensions are 24-1/2" x 8-1/2".
