Emerson CH-256 "Stradivarius" (1939)
(wood tube table radio w/Ingraham cabinet)

 Perhaps one of the most beautiful and identifiable Ingraham cabinets is the violin-shaped "Stradivarius" manufactured in 1939 for Emerson. There were two versions: one in Quilted Maple and the other, which we have here, in Walnut. The "Strad" is a five-tube, AM only, AC/DC radio. It's all about the cabinet folks, but this radio performs very well too. This radio was restored by the previous owner. All of the capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord and antenna lead were added. This is really nice example of this radio and it really does perform well across the dial. The beautifully figured Walnut cabinet has been finished in a satin lacquer by Gary Marvin. The original knobs, speaker chassis and Ingraham badge are with the set. The dial cover is crystal-clear and a new back was added. This radio is better than when it came from the factory! 11"W x 6"H x 5-1/2"D. $1,495.00. (1600560)
