Over a year ago I started a very small collection of antique tube radios...this little mantle radio was my first, a 1933 Emerson-Ingraham model 25A in excellent original condition! My dad restores vintage vacuum tube radios from the '20s to the '50s, and he said this lil' gem is all original, right down to it's wire antenna. The only thing he replaced was all the caps and the power cord (with a replica cloth-covered cord, using the original bakelite plug cover); the radio tested great and it performs flawlessly still.
Not bad for a 70 year old, huh?
