Emerson 868 Portable Transistor Radio With The Miracle Wand
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4287362 | Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
| Brand: Emerson |
Here is the Emerson model 868 portable AM radio with the Miracle Wand, both handle and antenna.
With its fine reception across the AM band, this transistor radio is a keeper in any collection.
Probably designed originally as a tube set with large and heavy batteries, the 1957 radio features just four transistors but still manages to push out a ton of sound. The original dual nine volt batteries were replaced at some point with a single 9 volt battery (included). It powers the rad...io very well.
The maroon and cream cabinet with its polished controls is in excellent condition with only minor scratches consistent with the age and use of the radio but with no cracks or chips. Please examine the photos.
The Miracle Wand antenna rotates so that the user can turn the antenna to better pull in stations while keeping the radio positioned for best sound - a unique trick.
The radio measures about 10" W x 10" H x 4" D and weighs about 3 lbs. unpacked. It will be safely packed and quickly sent by FedEx Ground. I charge only the expected shipping cost with insurance. I'll refund an overcharge which was significantly higher than the actual shipping cost.
Please check my feedback for the remarks from my many valued customers. Please ask if you have questions and certainly check out the other items I have listed!
