The cabinet of this Emerson was a work of art by industrial designer Raymond Loewy. The combination of a striking turquoise and brass dial, a molded white plastic grille with a geometric pattern of square openings, and a slant-font walnut veneered box placed this design squarely into the Mid Century Modern trend. This cabinet was re-veneered and finished by a former owner, and the finish still looks excellent. The grille, Bakelite back, knobs, and dial are all original; the nice clear dial cover is a reproduction. The Bakelite back has a chip missing in the lower rear corner at the mounting screw hole. The All American Five chassis has been restored to work like brand new, with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced, several new resistors, a full RF/IF alignment, contacts and controls cleaned, and the tuning mechanism lubricated. A new polarized power cord has been installed with modified switch wiring for improved safety. Lighted dial. Only $25 shipping to 48 states. 11-14"W x 9"H x 6-1/2"D. $175.00. (1310213)
