Emerson DuMont

[Eric H]

As big consoles go that is a nice one! It looks very elegant, I would have grabbed it too.

At first I was wondering how they put speakers in the sliding doors, then I realized those are cut outs so you can use it with the doors open.

That is a beautiful combo. Emerson had a good marketing tool with the DuMont name on their high end sets. Many folks still associated the DuMont name with quality receivers. I recall seeing, in the 70's, a stack of DuMont sets in their shipping cartons with the "First with the Finest" DuMont slogan printed on the cartons. These were all large consoles. This was at a Federated electronics store in L.A.

Great find! I like these DuMonts and Emersons from the 1960's. I remember my cousin working on sets like this years ago at our old TV shop. Thought you might like to see these pictures from the original DuMont brochure.

Never saw one, nor have I ever heard of one. Cool save!
