It"s a 4 tube radio, and now it has a 180, two 6J5GT and one 6L6G. It has three coils: a large antenna coil, then a very strange and large, in format of an "X" and the third is a "normal" coil of a radio.
The model is one of those with metal box, without speaker inside. There is no model number or another indication except the brand "Atwater Kent Radio".
In the fron panel there are, from the left to the right, the first dial control, then the second (it has two independent variable condensers). There are then the volume control and a reosthat, that has no conections.
There are, too, a selector of headphone or speaker.
It's little information, but it's all that I can tell about. I will be happy for any help, beucase here in brasil these radios are very rare, nobody knows AK here, so the informations about these models are inexistent.
Thanks again for any help!

Your Atwater Case may be from a Model 40 series radio but I think someone changed the insides of the radio. The original radio would have #26, #27 and #71A tubes. Atwater Kent went out of business in 1936, about the time your tubes were first used. Next week I'll try to send you some photos to help identify the cabinet.
Nostalgiaair should have Atwater Kent schematics for Models 37, 40 and 46. One of these probably was the original.

Encontrei seu pedido de informações sobre o AK. Infelizmente não posso ajuda-lo, mas estou enviando esta mensagem mesmo assim por desejar trocar informação com pessoas interessadas em rádio antigos no Brasil. Não faz muito tempo me interessei pelo assunto e já estava pensando estar sozinho neste tema. Moro em Brasília, tenho 51 anos e durante os últimos meses tenho procurado em vão um rádio antigo em boas condições para iniciar minha "coleção". Agradeceria qualquer informação nessa busca. Boa sorte com seu rádio.
Atenciosamente,
