  • Do you know if $168 is unreasonable for an Emerson 999 "Champion" pocket radio?

  • @douro20

    I'll ask and see what a friend says

  • @douro20

    1958. If there are no cracks and all original and in good condition, it is a good buy.

  • Beautiful radio Rick with a nice detailed review. You must be very proud to own it.

  • It is a neat radio and have not seen another one. You have reminded me that I need to take the batteries out of it. Thanks

  • Rick,

    Nice portable.

    Question: You're also a collector, and as such, do you update the caps in every one of your radios, which over time can get somewhat expensive, or only the caps in selected units?

    Thanks again.

    Regards,

    John

  • Hey John,

    When I first started I repaired everyone I got. But now it has to be something unique or I just want to repair it. The early 1920 radio is almost a must to repair but I have a few still waiting on me. Basically now it has to be something I don't have already, like the Magnavox or most recently the RCA 1-BT-32 transistor, which I'm listening to now.

    Regards,

    Rick

see all

  • The old Emerson logo came back for a time, on their Emerson Heritage stereos, which resemble old radios, but with a CD player, a cassette slot, and a record player.

  • LOL. Big companies do really dumb things sometimes. And to make unreliable equipment is dumb. I don't believe I have ever seen an Emerson TV. Except for the collectable radios I find I don't see Emerson equipment in the USA either. I guess they still sell consumer equipment?

  • It starts runing quick !

    Batteries should have costed as expensive as

    for our´s notebooks today :-)

    Emerson was not a loved brand in Brazil.

    I can remember in the 60´s, Emerson TV sets

    were sold here and they were not reliable.

    Constant problems. I don´t trust this brand but I know I must be wrong. Emerson is not

    sold in Brazil nowadays. Browsing the WEB I found Emerson LCD tvs but probably is chinese.

    Thank you for the excelent video. Very interesting radio.

    Mario.
