Emerson had many famous cabinet designs, including this one, attributed to Raymond Loewy, the prominent American industrial designer, who transformed everyday items into modern works of art. This is one of the Catalin versions of this cabinet, with gorgeous butterscotch marbled with the brown base material. Catalin radio cabinets often crack or show other defects due to shrinkage of the material, but this one is as nice as they come -- completely free of cracks or chips, and with a beautiful shine. Even the back (particularly prone to cracking due to differential material shrinkage) is in perfect condition. Knobs, grille, grille cloth, dial, and back are all original. The chassis has had a full electrical restoration with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced, new resistors where needed, a strong set of tubes, and a careful RF/IF alignment. A new polarized power cord has been installed and the power switch circuitry has been updated to improve safety. This radio plays like brand new, with good sensitivity and sound quality. Lighted dial. Use as designed to listen to AM broadcasts, or order with my Better Bluetooth option to listen to your own program material. Shipping just $25 to 48 states. 11"W x 8-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D.  $425.00. (1310199)
