Emerson 540A "Emersonette" (1947)
(Bakelite tube table radio)

Emerson 540A "Emersonette" (1947)

Here is a highly collectible 1947 "Emersonette" in a walnut Bakelite case. It was offered in a choice of four different colors of plastic: marbleized walnut Bakelite, ivory Plaskon, red Plaskon, and mint green/pistachio Plaskon (as of this writing, I also have both the ivory and pistachio Plaskon models for sale - see separate listings on my Radio Attic page). This set's cabinet is in near mint condition, with just a 1/16-inch chip at the bottom edge beneath the volume knob - not readily seen on display. The grille cloth, black bullet-style knobs, external antenna, dial, dial glass and almost-perfect back panel are original to the set. The dial lights up beautifully in the dark. The power cord is a new replacement. The set has been re-capped, all weak tubes replaced, and the tuner and volume controls cleaned, so it picks up all my local stations loud and clear across the AM dial. Originally coined as "the world's smallest AC/DC Superheterodyne" ever made. Ready to display and play! Another great radio from my personal, smoke-free collection. About 6-1/2"W x 4-3/4"H x 3-1/4"D.  $595.00. (1750114)
