I picked up this Emerson at a local antique mall for $20. Usually, when I see a radio for $20, I buy it regardless. I seem to like the real loser radios, which eat up lots of time. Well, this one shouldn't be too bad. The case is in great shape with no chips, cracks, etc. The finish isn't even that bad, I think I can fix it up with a complete refinish. The black trim on the sides is flaking off, but that should be easy to fix. I'll need to find a new knob, as this radio has two different knobs (the one on the right is correct).

The radio didn't power on at all when purchased. I pulled the back and tested the tubes, and found that the 35W4 tube was dead. I replaced that, and the radio powered up, but of course with a loud hum. I have gone ahead and recapped the radio, and it works great! Now, I just need to fix the case..
