Emerson 108, 1936 Approximately 9-3/4 inches / 25 cm tall. Tube complement: 6A7 mixer/oscillator, 6D6 IF amplifier, 6Q7G detector, 25L6G audio output, 25Z5 rectifier. Early model 108s used chassis U5A. Many radio collectors call this radio "model U5A" since the chassis designation is clearly visible, while the actual model number is more obscure. Later 108s (like this one) use chassis AD, which has a slighly different dial. |
