It is a shame to see what happend to DuMont/Emerson.
I was lucky enough to pick up a DuMont RA-108 tv/phono combo and it is just built like a tank and still works. Just amazing.
It seems to me that this stuff was pretty top notch in its day. The sound from this combo is incredible even before restoration.
So much innovation and character just went by the wayside when the television stopped being a piece of furniture and a center in the home to just another appliance, no more special than the microwave or fridge, etc.
Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era. But then again, if I was, I wouldn't get to fix all these cool old sets with reliable, modern components.
