History: |
The name Air King is not mentioned in the book "Radio Manufacturers of the 1920's" by Alan Douglas. It is also not listed in "The Radio Trade Directory, Aug., 1925" nor in "1921 - 1932 Radio collector's Guide" by Morgan E. McMahon. We believe that Air King Products did not manufacture radios before 1932. They became known in 1933 for the Air-King Skyscraper 52 models. Later "Air King" made radios for Silvertone (Sears), GE, and other companies, and also sold radios under their own name.

Dear Friends, I've here some data and photos of an Air-king sent to us by Mr. Antonio Manuel Rodrigues dos Santos. They are here to be upload as a new model. This radio set is similar to a 1936 Air-King Skyscraper which one can see in http://classicradiogallery.com/classic_plastics.html
The main visible diferences are :
-The dial scale here has a similar design, but this model shows BC + LW instead of BC+SW.
-Red cabin
Tubes here are: 6A8 6K7 6Q7 6N6 5W4 6U5
Probably this model is an Export model. Unfortunately the sole reference we have here is "Model 15" written on a label on its Magnavox speaker .
Do you know this model? Should it be an Air-King Skyscraper 15 ? Air-King Skyscraper Export should be ok? Best Regards
Mario Coelho

Dear Konrad, Thank you for your prompt reply. This set is more look like Classic Gallery's. In this set dial scale has an identical design to Classic Radio Gallery's. It has a word map at center. Dial scale of 770 is quite diferent. It has another design including a very visible pointer. What do you suggest? Air-King Skyscraper 770 Export , or sole Air-King Skyscraper Export? Best Regards Mario Coelho |

Welcome, Mario. I dont care so much for the dial scale. For different bands and different country/continent it is almost always custom made. The classics gallery doesnt tell any model. There is no model named simply Skyscraper. Radio Attic shows a nice 770 photo, too. The main differences are the tube lineup and the LW band. I would in any case relate it to a number which covers the use of a magic eye, i.e. 770 or FA-11. The latter is alredy defined as being red. Good luck! |

Yes. There is a license plate which identifies the manufacturer. Nothing else is mentioned. Well. I'ld send it as a Air-King Skyscraper 770 Export. Do you agree? Best Regards Mario Coelho |
