Emerson 108

Emerson 108

1936

Bands: AM, SW

Tube Lineup: 6A7, 6D6, 75, 43, 25Z5

This stunning Emerson 108 is very similar to the 126 and is shaped in a small bakelite tombstone cabinet. The chassis is deep and cramped with components, which is definitely a nightmare to repair. The line cord resistor was replaced with a 8uF 250V nonpolarized capacitor. The model 108 was produced with two chassis types: U5A and AD. This chassis has a painted dial so it is likely an early U5A because later U5A chassis and the AD chassis have a celluloid dial. A clear distinction between chassis types lies in the tube lineup. The chassis AD consists of 6Q7 and 25L6 octal tubes instead of the 75 and 43 respectively used on the U5A chassis. The 108 originally sold for $24.95.
