Nice lighting!! It does look like it is made of gold or bronze! Funny, I am listening to a radio show (Hitchhikers Guide) on my iPod! Originally broadcast on the good old radio!

That title is appropriate! I suppose this was no longer one of the cathedral style radios by '46... I am a bit surprised, though, at the font style Emerson used; I wonder whether that dial was manufactured before the War. I would have guessed that radio was 20 years older than it is. Excellent work, Kort (as usual)!

Wow, I haven't seen one of these in 25 years or better. I used to have one, but I couldn't find the specified parts I needed to get the darn thing working. I already had a nice, big paperweight, so it was gifted to a friend that thought he could get it going again. Great capture Kort!

This brings back memories of when we visited Grandpa's and would turn out the lights and listen to Mystery Theatre on the old Emerson sigh
