Hello all,

Have acquired this tiny Emerson radio today, but I have no idea about the type.

I thought it was an CU265, but this one has black "feet" and has a much smaller dail.

It is missing its backpanel and stationdail indicator (maybe someone has one ?).

The valves are 6Q7GT; 6K8; 6A8GT an 6V6GT.

It is a very small radio: 8.5 inch long; 3.5 inch deep and 5 inch high.

At the bottom of the "gold" stationdail its reads: 4XZ 810A and 4XZ 810 B

There is a paper note on the bottom of the bakelite case which reads "SEF CHASSIS".

Have anyone got a clue ?

Thanks in advance !

Han.

It could be an AX-211 "Little Miracle" from 1938

Looks the same but the valve line up and chassis layout different

Cheers

6V6 doesn't "fit" with typical Emerson lineups. There doesn't appear to be a transformer in sight- a 25- or 35- output bottle and rectifier would be more likely.

Edit: Got it:

Edit 2: Maybe?
