I have finally gotten back to this little Emerson 25A.  I did get the capacitor-voltage drop components into place, replaced the choke with a new one and got it fired up successfully.  Unfortunately by the time I had it all back together and buttoned up I realized I had not taken any photos of the chassis...    It plays OK although at relatively low volume.  I only have a short 10' antenna so longer would help some as well but I've played with this one enough so ... done for now.  I left the finish pretty much original.  It was dirty and the original clear lacquer had started to alligator a bit so I very lightly sanded, did a little restore-a-finish treatment, let that dry and then added a few coats of clear gloss lacquer.  I think it came out surprisingly well.  The grill cloth was replaced with the original grill cloth that I had taken out of the Emerson 250AW that I had worked on previously.
