Emerson 301 (1940)
(Bakelite tube table radio)

Emerson 301 (1940)

NEW!This pre-war compact Emerson used the full set of five newly introduced octal tubes for AC-DC radios that became the standard for the All-American Five, a design that was the top choice for affordable, yet high-performing radios for the next two decades. The molded cabinet with its spring-loaded handle, although unmistakable in its pre-war aesthetic, was also part of a new trend of Bakelite cabinets that were so common for many years to come. This radio looks great, with a nice Bakelite shine, and has a new crystal-clear dial cover and a replacement back, along with original knobs and dial components. An incipient crack on the bottom rear has been repaired and reinforced and should be of no further concern. The chassis has been fully restored and works like new, with new capacitors throughout, new resistors where needed, and a careful RF/IF alignment. Emerson seemed to like hot chassis designs, so this one has been upgraded to a more modern safety standard with a new polarized power cord and a change to the power switch wiring. Lighted dial. Overall, a compact good looking radio with excellent performance and good sound. Shipping just $20 to 48 states. 9-1/4"W x 7"H x 5"D.  $135.00. (1310183)
