This stunning and rare Emerson table radio is just gorgeous! Made in 1938, the cabinet is from the famed Ingraham Company, who originally designed clocks. They are very well made, and the combination of various high quality wood solids and veneers make their cabinets among the very best and appealing. This radio is an exceptional representation of the beauty and quality of their work. Note the Ingraham plate affixed to the bottom. With six tubes including a ballast, it has very good sensitivity, selectivity and reception. It also has tone control for your listening preference. The Shortwave does not work, as the oscillator for that band is bad, and no replacement can be located. S with all of the radios I restore, it has been gone over with the utmost attention to detail. The cabinet is in excellent restored condition. It was already completed when I found it, and I cleaned, nourished and polished it with a quality orange oil/beeswax product. As can be seen, the wood grains look as if they have depth and texture and are a further hallmark to the beauty of the Ingraham design. The dial face is like new, with crisp and clear graphics that are well lighted by the pilot light. The glass dial face is a replacement. The brass bezel was polished and is in excellent condition, as are the polished replacement knobs. The power cord was replaced. Felt pads were added to the bottom to protect your furniture. 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 nine foot external antenna (provided). This rare, dazzling and highly. Emands a place of distinction. Just imagine all of the news of the world, music and stories this wonderful radio has broadcast! Now 82 years old and newly restored inside and out, it will continue to provide many more years of enjoyment if well cared for. Dimensions: 12.5×8.5×6.5. 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.
