Lookin' good. I like those large dial glass models, cabinet looks nice. How do you polish? After the cleaning do you use any "secrets". 

5 or 6 tube?

Thanks.. I used Don Aslett's Wood Cleaner and Polish. Got it at home depot when I picked up the Howards Re-finisher for my wood cabinets..

It was the only thing I had that I thought would probably work.. So I tried it on inside and it looked good..


Its a 6 tube.. The 6th tube looks like a amp for Headphones?

[Image: http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm38/wb4yvo/emerson%20final%20003_zpsobeftpgc.jpg]

Brought up on Variac.. at 115 Volts draws about .20 Amps.. Stared to play just fine Many stations heard also The Canadian Station on 740 AM Load and clear..

Need a touch up on the dial .. Other wise will put together tomarrow..

Doesn't need any alignment as it plays just fine and many stations received ..

RE: Emerson Model 1002 - vecher - 02-18-2017

Well, Good Question I planed on keeping them.. But right now have no place to display them. They are on a shelf in Garage right now.. I probably have about 15 or so left to do..

Wasn't planning on selling But who knows..

I just like working on them.. Been getting them from the Shed at Joe's that Terry,Kirk and Friends Visited Every time I go over I find something different I had not seen before...

RE: Emerson Model 1002 - OldRestorer - 02-18-2017

I have the same issue,
I LOVE restoring them but not keeping them.
I keep my 1930's Philco's, my Halson's, and my Hallicrafters but besides some really neat off brand mantle sets I don't collect much else. I ended up having 60 radios that I did not know what to do with. I keep buying them when I run out of projects and I don't think I have any family or friends left to give one to who would care.

Bring some to Kutztown if you want.
I got room for ya.
