Emerson Radio & Phonograph Corp antique/vintage wood tabletop tube 422/512/179 ?:
$50.00

Welcome to waxandwaxpax!



DESCRIPTION: I will safely assume a rare model! I could not find any exact model during my research. Model that this one is closest to is the 422, which the frequency plate is identical, but the sides are different. I do not know if this one is modified or just \"special\"! The rare sale of mine that I am selling as is. Please ask any and all questions! If you need additional pictures, let me know. I did plug it in to see if it worked. :-) I know a little bit about tube radios! (I could not any way as the cord is missing the plug.)

CONDITION: The wood (almost like a cherry wood, but lighter and heavier) has a few pits and marks, but all-in-all in great shape. The length is 11 5/16\"; the height (highest) is 7 3/8\"; the depth is approximately 7\" at its deepest. The glass is still intact covering the dial; the four knobs appear to be original. The guts seem to be all in place and intact. This is where my knowledge is just about zip. There is a serial number inside as well. The tare weight is 11 pounds, 14 ounces. With the shipping material, I am estimating a total shipping weight of 15 pounds.

All records have been handled with the utmost of care. 99% of the albums I own are pre-owned from audiophiles, discophilists, and just general lovers of music! These are all used, unless specified as \"still sealed.\" If there is any abnormal wear, I will do my best to list all of it in thedescription. I also use a grading system, parallel to Goldmine. See below.

Shipping, unless specified above in the description,is $4.00, USPS Media Mail--U.S. ONLY--for all 12\" discs; $3.40, USPS First Class Mail--U.S. ONLY--for all 7\" discs. 78 RPM\'s, on the rare occasion that one is listed, is priced separately and by weight and will ALWAYS require insurance. I will offer (not mandatory) insurance for all other domestic destinations, but they must be sent non-media mail (more expensive) if insurance is requested. Any items with a final cost of $100 or more must be insured. Contact me for pricing or you can visit www.usps.com to get a general idea. Each domesticdisc thereafter is $0.50. For myinternational friends, shipping prices are based on www.usps.com, and will of course depend on the destination. International buyers MUST--\"must\"--no exceptions!--be sent with insurance for items over $100.Lots, when offered,are priced separately for shipping.

Packagingeach record takes quite a bit of time! The record and inner sleeve is placed outside of the jacket. All isthen bubble wrapped and sandwiched between cardboard and taped. I have found this to be the safest for the records,most efficient, and I get a little green byrecycling cardboard.

If you haveANY special requests, PLEASE ASK.However, shipping will ONLY be made to the address on record.

Gradingbelow is based on Goldmine\'s standards. (Thank you!) See more information. I assign two grades: one for the jacket and one for the record itself:

MINT (M): Perfect! This record looks like it has just left the manufacturer, with NO flaws whatsoever. It looks as though it had never been handled. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains. No stickers address labels, writing on the covers or labels. No tears or seam splits. No wear to the cover or record period! Age of the record has nothing to do with it.

NEAR MINT or NM, M- : this record appears virtually flawless. A very minor scuff and very little else can appear on the vinyl. It should play without any noise over the flaw. The flaw is very hard to see. The cover looks as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork is be as close to perfect as can be.

EXCELLENT or EX or VG++ : minor scuffs which are only slightly visible. There may be more than a few scuffs and NO scratches. COVER: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

VERY GOOD PLUS or VG+ record shows wear, surface scuffs. The vinyl still has a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. If the flaws don\'t cause any surface noise, the vinyl can still make the VG+ grade. COVERS: A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it. The artwork looks clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork. In essence, a VG+ cover should have no more than 3 flaws mentioned.

VERY GOOD or VG: this record is a record that is good enough. They are not really going to look very good, but it will STILL play very good. There will almost always be some surface noise when they are played. The dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering the surface noise. A VG record will appear wellplayed but still have some luster. VG covers will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting. There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off,giving the cover a look of snow falling. If the artwork looks snowy all over, it is less than VG condition. There may be some writing on the cover. (Still, no large letters in magic marker). It will look aged and more yellowish due to contamination\'s in the air (sometimes looking like cigarette smoke). Still it should be decent.

GOOD or G A good record will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However a Good record should still play. It will have distracting surface noise. Such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks, caused by deep scratches. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear. A good cover will have just about everything wrong with it. It will have seam splits (possibly taped repaired), but only with scotch tape. No duct tape or masking tape repairs.

POOR (P) and Fair (F)
Poor (P) and Fair (F) records usually end up going in the trash. Records are cracked, impossibly warped, or skip and/or repeat when an attempt is made to play them. Covers are so heavily damaged that you almost want to cry. [As I once read a poor jacket being described: it is barely worth putting down over a puddle.]
