Tube Radio Vintage

Everyone remembers what happened in downtown Manhattan on 911. Everyone laments the loss of so many Lives and the destruction of the Twin Tower skyscrapers there. Not many people remember that the Twin Towers were built on a parcel of land centered on Cortlandt Street in lower Manhattan. Back in the day, before the area was bulldozed, Cortlandt Street was Radio Row in New York City. If there’s only room for one old radio in your life, this one would be it! If you are looking for a restored old-time tube radio that can be played as often as you like and for as long as you like, please read on. You are viewing a totally restored. This radio set has been restored to it’s original condition and is ready to bring another lifetime’s listening pleasure to it’s proud new owner. You will be satisfied with this radio set because no detail inside OR outside has been overlooked in order to deliver both “dependable performance” and appealing cabinetry. Every effort has been made to offer a practically new radio, performing as it did originally, and to be maintenance free for quite some time. The wood cabinet is in exceptional condition without any cracks, delamination of veneers, or patch-job repairs. The cabinet has been refinished in traditional manner using linseed oil varnish to bring out the texture of the veneers and impart a soft shine. This model measures 11″ X 6″ X 7.5high. The electronics inside the chassis are in superb working condition after a thorough overhaul. Yes, the dial string is new as well as the AC power line cord. New speaker cloth, new dial cover. This radio uses 5 tubes. All 5 tubes are “new old stock” and the dial light bulb is new and rated at 3000 hours. A very thorough restoration job sums it all up. Check out all the photos. Please note: the imperfection appearing over New York in the illuminated dial photo is a reflection from somewhere and not present in person. Following the restoration, all radio circuits were re-tuned to their specification using instrumentation. The end result is an old fashioned wood cabinet tube radio giving excellent reception across the dial. Thoroughly bench tested, this vintage Emerson radio set is ready for it’s new home.
