An Emerson speaker with Philco parts
#1

So I have an Emerson console and someone needed the chassis. I was cleaning the speaker and it has a Philco Transformer.
It looks original but I am sure it is not... Right??

Kirk;
  The speaker looks kind of like a Rola rebadged as an Emerson. As for the transformer Philco dealers and service shops had their own parts jobbers whom would supply Philco branded parts that would work with just about any set, so it may not necessarily be a replacement from a junked Philco.

...especiially since it is dated 2-39 (February 1939). Philco no longer used that type of audio output transformer in its new radios, so that was a replacement part. Between that, and it appears in the photo that the Philco transformer is held in place by a screw (bolt) and nut, not riveted...this tells me that the original Emerson transformer was replaced with a Philco part sometime before or possibly after the war.

Around WW2 any part that would work was fine.

Thanks all!

I figured the screws would make that the answer...
