THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This adorable little Emerson 420 is definitely a candidate for "Most Ornate Cabinet In The Small Radio Category." The cabinet is in very nice original condition with only a few very minor dings. It is fronted with the original bronze grille cloth which is in decent condition. The chassis is a fairly good performer for a four-tuber. The sound is pretty good from the perfect 4-inch speaker. The chassis was modified by a previous servicer to eliminate the "curtain burner" power cord, and he also installed a solid state rectifier. The dangerous connections have been removed from the rear accessory socket. I fitted it with a safety fuse and period appropriate cloth power cord. This little gem is as rare as it is attractive. None has ever sold on the Attic, but the 1933 model sold for $425 in 2007. I want it to find a good home, so I won't be quite so greedy. This is a really cute and unique radio, and I'm betting if you are an Emerson person, you don't have one. Here's hoping you decide you need to add one to your collection! Requires an external antenna. 9"W x 7"H x 4"D.
