Emerson R-156 Tombstone (1938)
(wood tube tombstone radio w/SW)

Emerson R-156 Tombstone (1938)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Emerson used the R-156 model designation for several radios, each one with different cabinets, but utilizing the same chassis. Emerson used more Ingraham cabinets than any other manufacturer, and this model sports a simple, but beautiful Ingraham design. This version of the R-156 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,Police) radio. These sets perform well and have great sensitivity and volume across the dial. Blake replaced all of the capacitors. checked the resistors and tubes, replacing where needed. He added a new power cord and auxiliary cable for Bluetooth, iPod, iPad etc. Gary did a masterful job refinishing the cabinet. The American Walnut and Maple with Australian Laurel trim is stunning! He added a crystal-clear dial cover from Mark Palmquist. The chassis, speaker and knobs are original, and a reproduction grille cloth was installed. This is as fine of a restored R-156 you're going to find, and it's ready to grace someone's collection! 12-1/2"H x 9-1/2"W x 5"D.
