Emerson AX-238 (1938)
(wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet)

 Sometimes called a "jewel box" this Emerson AX-238 should be IN the box, as it is a little jewel itself. The wood in the Ingraham cabinet is absolutely gorgeous. The thing is just struck all over with cute. The cabinet was already restored when I bought it and is very nice. The chassis has been modified to eliminate the "curtain burner" power cord by a previous servicer. I took care of a few errors and omissions, fitted it with all high testing tubes and gave it a full alignment. The receiver performance is surprisingly good for a five-tube novelty radio. I was able to recover some poor repair work on the speaker, and give it a coat of the amazing Parts Express wet look product. It sounds very good for a 4-incher now. The original volume control has been replaced with an On/off/volume control, but the lid actuated on/off switch still works. Only four have sold on the attic, topping out at $475 in 2011. This radio is a total eye catcher, and will get noticed! Requires an external antenna. 10"W x 6"H x 8-1/2"D. $425.00. (1680168)
