Emerson 108 (U5A) Mini Tombstone (1936)
(Bakelite tube tombstone radio w/SW)

Emerson 108 (U5A) Mini Tombstone (1936)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!
A ONE-DAY WONDER!

This 1936 Bakelite mini-tombstone radio is one of the most collectible of all Emerson radios. The chassis has been checked by a professional, completely recapped, and its resistance line cord (curtain burner) replaced with a new cloth cord. The radio plays well using an extended antenna wire. The dial light is working as well. This is a two-band radio, but the SW band is the old amateur/aviation band used by Dick Tracy. The band switch is in the rear. The case is in remarkable condition, no cracks, chips or hairline cracks, even has a nice showroom shine. The radio has its original complete undamaged Bakelite back on the set. Perfect reproduction Emerson grille cloth. A really nice example of this model, and a must for any collection. AA truly "mini" Tombstone at about 9-1/2"H x 7"W x 5"D.
