[QUOTE=Ohighway;3098010]Found this little radio on the shelf (and it is quite small).
Marked "Empress" on the front. Label on back says made in Japan. No model number. Anyone know what model this is, when it was produced, or have other information about it?
Another JA5. Non-AVC, single tuned second IF, hot chassis, little gem. The speaker trademark shows it's made by Ida Densen. It seems like late 50's, early 60's. The tuning gang and possibly, the volume control are isolated from the chassis. Also the screws holding the back, have the plastic caps on them, for some measure of isolation.
BTW, the AC cord insulation is cracked, where it enters the strain relief. If the cord isn't too dried out, you'll have to reconnect it.
Going back to the basics.
