Emerson 543 (1947)
(Plaskon tube table radio)

Emerson 543 (1947)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This ivory Plaskon Emerson has a virtually perfect cabinet, with an excellent original shine and a dent- and scratch-free metal mesh grille. Knobs, dial pointer, dial cover, grille, handle, and back are all original. The dial pointer disks on these are always a bit warped like a potato chip; I guess that is an endearing feature of this model. It looks fine, but you'll notice it when turning the dial. The chassis is an All American Five with octal tubes, and performs like new with excellent sensitivity and good sound quality. It has had a complete electrical restoration, with all paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced, several new resistors, a strong set of tube, and a careful RF/IF alignment and dial calibration. A new polarized power cord has been installed, and the switch wiring has been modified to improve safety, keeping the metal chassis and mounting screws on the bottom of the cabinet grounded. Lighted dial. This is a nice classic Emerson to add to your collection. Shipping only $20 to 48 states. 11-1/4"W x 7-1/2"H x 5-3/4"D.
