Emjay
#1

Hello Guys & Gals,
I bought a new heard of radios. One is a (1932 to 1936?) tombstone Emjay. At first I thought this was a frankenstein radio, but on the inside there is a sticker that calls this a Emjay and uses 32 volt. There is no place for batteries. A little more reading brings out that the light power suppliers have bad grounds and if radio does not work very well flip plug. The plug looks like it is very old but both contacts look like there are the same size. To me this is strange for a DC radio.

Does anyone have any information on this radio. I can find nothing on the internet about this radio. There is no model number on the sticker or even patent application.

I think this radio was made for farm life that had a 32 volt DC generator, of course I am wrong more times then I am right. 

One other problem I tried to remove radio from cabinet but one of the knobs will not come off. I tried placing two small screwdrivers between knob and cabinet. No luck removing.
All of the other knobs are round shaft with no flat spot or set screw. It looks like it was a friction fit and someone glued one to a shaft. If it is glued any ideas on how to remove without destroying the knob.

This uses two #48, #85, #6d6, two #6e6. The last three tubes I think are right as I misplaced the tube list I made and I have the radio on display. 

Thanks for your help,
Ed.
