Vintage Emerson Catalin AM Tube Radio 520 (1946) Brown woodgrain model. In very good condition!!! See all pictures to appreciate the beauty of this radio. Selling untested. I don't plug in these old tube radios, see below:
Note:Beware, sets made in the 1950's and earlier were not made with such safety devices as three-prong grounded or polarized plugs. In fact, polarized plugs were rare even into the 1970's. Some are even wired so that the chassis is electrically "ho...t". Be careful not to touch the metal chassis inside the cabinet or the knob shafts without the knobs when these radios are plugged in, even after they have been checked by an expert. Older radios than that often develop more extensive problems as old parts age. Sometimes they might work for a short time but most likely nothing at all will happen if they are plugged in, including no sound. You might get static, or the aforementioned humming. Worst case, you might get smoke, yes, there is a remote chance you could cause a fire. In any case, you risk damaging other components of the radio, such as the catalin/bakelite/plastic case or the power transformer, for which it may be difficult to find replacements. They should be inspected by a radio repair specialist before powering them up.
