Emerson 108
(Bakelite tube tombstone radio)

Emerson 108

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Five tubes, BCB and MW (1.6-3.6 Mhz) Typical superhet circuit does quite well on BCB, there is not much to listen to on MW nowadays. All needed components and tubes were replaced with new, the volume control and switch was replaced with a good used part. The set is unusual; being small and crowded, there was no room for a ballast tube inside, so Emerson used a "curtain burner"--a built in ballast in the line cord. This was replaced with an external power resistor and heat sink. The cabinet is overall in good shape--one small stress crack on the top, and one on the front decorative bar. The back had a corner broke off and glued on. Two screw holes chipped out where the screws are missing, but the back fits well and stays on tight. Old grille cloth was worn and torn, replaced with a close matching new cloth. Looks good. Big full sound from a small tombstone.
