THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

A beautiful, burled walnut Emerson cabinet radio from 1949 in really nice condition. This model has often been described as housed in an Ingraham Cabinet Co. case, but there was never an identifying Ingraham tag in this radio, so all I can say as it reflects a beautiful Ingraham case in its style and appearance. The radio came in three models: the model 570 in a thick black plastic (some say Catalin), a model 574 in burled walnut, and a model 580 in black and red leatherette. This is a battery-operated set with three "D" cells and a battery pack of seven 9-volt batteries producing the necessary "B" voltage. And unlike most of these radios, where they are described as "untested," this Emerson is working & playing very well because it has all brand-new batteries in it. When the case is opened, and the small clear plastic piece is raised, the radio turns on. Push it down and the radio turns off. I have never seen or read that the plastic on-off switch is spring loaded. Nice clear reception on all my local AM stations. The case is in excellent condition with a nice, curved design and matched walnut top. No significant case issues other than a few scratches. I have included a picture of my old sweetheart in the frame, at no charge. About 7-1/2" square x 3-1/2"H.
