Emerson 574 "Momento" (1949)
(cloth/leather tube table radio)

Emerson 574 "Momento" (1949)

SALE!  Here is an extremely hard to find classic Emerson radio in excellent condition. This set was available in three variations: a black Catalin case, a burled walnut case, and a red leatherette case. Of the three versions, I believe this red leatherette set is the hardest to find in good condition, as most of the Catalin sets were susceptible to cracks, and the walnut cases seemed to always have many veneer issues. This red leatherette case is in excellent condition without any rips or tears, just a few small nicks in the covering. 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 always 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 owned several of these particular models, and I have never seen or read that the plastic on-off switch is spring loaded. It receives reception on all of my local AM stations without any problems. Everything is original, knobs and picture frame. The top snaps shut when you close it. I have included a picture of my old sweetheart in the frame, at no charge. But her phone number will cost you extra! About 7-1/2" square x 3-1/2"H.  Was $289.00, now $229.00. (1150944)
