Presented for your consideration is this Vintage 1930s Emerson Mickey Mouse model 411 tube radio. The model photographed appears to be in very good original condition. It still features its brass name tag and brass accents (dial scale & vol/on/off) surrounding the two knobs. It also still retains its original brass data plate located on the back of the radio that features its serial number. These are usually missing but, not on this example. They are still in business today. This particular example powers up nicely. The tubes all glow. It may be because I live in the country and this primitive radio doesnt have the capability to draw in a signal. Im not sure what the issue may be but, Im sure someone can figure it out. All of the parts in this radio appear to be original so Im not going to be the one who authorizes any parts changing or repairs if needed. Ill leave that up to the new owner. The original cord is present and in good condition as is the antenna. This radio measures approximately 7 1/4 x 7 1/4 x 5 1/4.
