Highlights
This is one of the most unique Emerson Radios that you will find. Emerson is not only known for very reliable radios, the company is also well known for its very creative and impressive cabinet designs. Many of their wood radio cabinets were designed by the renowned Ingraham Clock Cabinet Maker, Raymond Loewy, one of America's greatest industrial designers. Although this not an Ingraham cabinet, the design of this radio is atypical. This is a 1947 Emerson "History of Nations Book Volume" Vacuum Tube Radio. It's in a hard cardboard leather-like cover with artful graphics. Put it on a shelf with other books and you would think it is a volume of encyclopedia. The right front swings out like a door to expose the face of the radio--the unique dial and on/off/volume and dial control knobs. Most doors on these radios break off because of the sensitive paper cloth/leather hinge. This one has a near perfect replacement hinge made of a sturdy book binding material. The radio is original including the dial, knobs, and back cover. The radio has a 5-tube superhet chassis. It was serviced by a technician and all internal parts that needed to be replaced were replaced with new modern ones. The radio is playing very well, tuning many AM stations in my area. The dimensions are approximately 11"W X 8.25" H X 6.75" D.
Want something that's extra special and you will be proud to own? This radio is for you or for someone special in your life that you will give as a perfect gift. Your radio will be packed with care and insured when shipped.
