This smaller table radio is another beautifully designed model by the famed Ingraham company. The craftsmanship, creativity and attention to detail make this much more than a plain rectangular radio. It is sometimes incorrectly referred to as a model 179, as that is the is the number printed on the loop antenna. Considered a portable radio with its Bakelite handle, it is made of solid wood, not veneers and is in absolutely excellent condition. Just one look at it tells you that it is a real gem! With five tubes, it has very good sensitivity, selectivity, sound and reception. And of course a. S with all of the radios I restore, it has been gone over with the utmost attention to detail. It is doubtful that you will find another of this radio any time soon, if at all. The cabinet was stripped of the old varnish and lacquer, keeping the original stain. It was then nourished, rejuvenated and balanced. The bottom and top trim were redone with black lacquer to match the original finish as well as the polished black knobs and handle. The entire cabinet was then given eight coats of clear lacquer with excellent results. The dial face is in excellent condition with crisp and clear graphics that are nicely lighted. The dial pointer was polished. The dial cover has been replaced and is crystal clear. T he knobs are original and have been polished. A new Emerson decal was applied. The back cover has been replaced, as has the power cord. The original bottom felt pads are in excellent condition and were not replaced. As you can see from the photos, this is an exceptional radio. Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced with new ones. Tubes and resistors were tested and replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed. The radio was aligned, peaked and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using the internal loop antenna. There is an additional wire that can be connected to a longer wire as an external antenna if needed for your location. This is a very desirable radio with a charming presence and it. Certainly demands a place of distinction. Just imagine all of the news of the world, music and stories this wonderful radio has broadcast. This radio would be a wonderful as a gift or as an addition to a collection. Years old and newly restored inside and out, it will continue to provide many more years of reliable enjoyment if well cared for. Note: Tube radios consist of a variety of vacuum tubes, capacitors, resistors and other electronic components. This radio has been disassembled, cleaned, and components tested. All non-functioning or suspect components were replaced. Vacuum tubes are similar to light bulbs in that an interior filament heats up inside the vacuum tube. When the filament burns out, the tube will need to be replaced. The tubes in this radio are in good. The longevity of the tube and its filaments is related to the length of time the radio is operated and the frequency of turning the radio power on and off.

VINTAGE 1938 EMERSON INGRAHAM BULLSEYE RADIO. Absolutely Stunning & Rare. Art Deco Antique Tube Radio. Excellent Condition with a beautiful walnut Ingraham wood cabinet! This radio makes a stunning display and is highly sought after by Collectors. The Emerson Model AX-212, “Little Miracle, ” has a wooden cabinet that Emerson said, “issued in a new type of styling, ” and that came either in a walnut veneer or in a curly maple veneer. This cabinet has a walnut veneer and four distinctive green inlaid stripes across the top and sides of the cabinet. The Ingraham Company, a prominent Connecticut clock-making firm, designed this unusual cabinet for Emerson for its Model AX-212. This company had developed an outstanding capability for making plywood cabinets in complex shapes. Emerson described this process relating to their radios as “Stay-Bent” cabinet construction. This model uses either metal or GT glass tubes. The metal tubes used are one each of the following: 6A8 oscillator, 6K7 IF amplifier, 6Q7 detector, AVC and amplifier, 25L6 beam power output and 25Z6 half wave rectifier. The chassis and tubes can be seen in Figure 4. The IF is 455 Kc. And the radio will tune one band — the broadcast band from 540 to 1730 KC. A resistive line cord is also used. The original cord has been cut and the electronics should be updated if you plan on using the radio. Also, there is a small pinhole in the clear plastic dial bezel lens. It’s hard to see, but it is there. (reproduction lenses are readily available). Otherwise, a stunning Emerson Bullseye Radio with very few issues.

The beginning of the 1950′s brought about a number of changes, and this radio represents the the move from Bakelite to “modern” plastic and providing FM back when there weren’t too many FM stations broadcasting. This model has smooth and clean lines and the beginnings of the “MCM look”. The dark walnut cabinet has just the slightest hint of burgundy marbling and is in excellent condition with no cracks or other damage. It sounds great too, with eight tubes and an internal loop antenna. It also has a bass/treble control for your listening preference. And of course a. S with all of the radios I restore, it has been gone over with the utmost attention to detail. While you may find others of this model, it is doubtful you will find one in the extraordinary restored condition of this one. The cabinet was completely disassembled and cleaned, then buffed to a wondrously smooth, shiny and lustrous finish. The dial face graphics are crisp, clear and easily seen. The power indicator shines red using a neon bulb. The original knobs were polished and the centers repainted. The original back cover is in excellent condition. Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced with new ones. Tubes and resistors were tested and replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed. The trouble prone selenium rectifier was replaced with a modern diode. The radio was aligned, peaked and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using the internal loop antenna. There is an external antenna connection on the back cover if needed for improved FM reception. At 69 years old, this Medicare age radio is once again working and looking like new. It is to be displayed proudly and it will draw well deserved attention with its charm. It will provide many more years of safe and reliable enjoyment if well cared for.

Very rare indeed, there are very few of this radio available today. I would think that was because of WWII, production was stopped. With a gorgeous Ingraham cabinet in excellent condition (see photo of bottom label), this upscale tri-band radio has some wonderful features. Starting with the cabinet, it has multiple inlays of various wood veneers and solids. The stepped frontispiece with the goldtone bands displays wonderful wood grains. And of course the green “magic eye” tuning indicator really makes the dial face stand out. It has a stately, yet warm and inviting look about it. It sounds great too, with the rich and mellow tube sound through a 6 1/2 speaker. It also has tone control for your listening preference. Of course, as with all of the radios I restore, it has been gone over with the utmost attention to detail. The cabinet was stripped of the old varnish and lacquer, keeping the original stain. It was then nourished and rejuvenated. The top and bottom trim were redone with dark walnut toners to match the original finish. The entire cabinet was then given seven coats of clear lacquer with excellent results. The slide rule dial face is in excellent condition with crisp and clear graphics that are nicely lighted in addition to the magic eye. The original knobs have been cleaned and polished. Two of the knobs have minor warping. The power cord was replaced. Felt pads were added to the bottom to protect your furniture. The photos tell the rest of the story about the overall condition of the cabinet and how well the restoration turned out. Electronically, the chassis was restored, cleaned and serviced, with all paper/wax and electrolytic capacitors replaced with new ones. Tubes and resistors were tested and replaced as needed. All controls and contacts were detail cleaned and lubricated. Wiring and other components were replaced as needed. The original speaker is in excellent condition and sounds great. The radio was aligned, peaked and tuned for optimal reception and quality of sound using the 12 foot external antenna (provided). This highly desirable and rare radio demands a place of distinction. It is highly unlikely you will find another of this model in this restored condition for a long time, if ever. Just imagine all of the news of the world, music and stories it has broadcast over the past 78 years! Now newly restored inside and out, it will continue to provide many more years of reliable enjoyment if well cared for. Note: Tube radios consist of a variety of vacuum tubes, capacitors, resistors and other electronic components. This radio has been disassembled, cleaned, and components tested. All non-functioning or suspect components were replaced. Vacuum tubes are similar to light bulbs in that an interior filament heats up inside the vacuum tube.
