Emerson 520 catalin, 1946
This is likely the least expensive calatin radio in the book. The picture below really shows the beauty of the two-tone catalin, brown with yellow swirl. The resolution of the JPEG is high in an attempt to show the depth.
I had to replace the filter capacitors and an IF transformer. After an alignment, cleaning and hand polishing, it really looks and sounds good!
The Emerson 504 is a wooden version of this radio.
