There seems to be a trend toward small, economical table radios lately. In that vein, I popped for this cute Emerson 695 from 1952. There's nothing fancy about this little guy, but I think the style has a clean, attractive look to it. The sound isn't bad from the perfect 4-inch speaker. My usual thorough chassis restoration and full alignment produced a good receiver for local stations, with an antenna wire for more distance. There are three small dings on the top front edge of the otherwise very nice cabinet. I had to make three of the knobs. The clock and alarm work fine. All in all, a nice little radio that won't take up much space and won't break the bank. These topped out on the Radio Attic at $180 in 2019. I realize it has a few shortcomings and am pricing it accordingly. 9-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D. Mike Boessen. E-mail: mboessen@ktis.net ON SALE - was $119.00, now $99.00. (0000062)
