The Majestic brand name is manufactured by Majestic Tadio and Television Company. The ornante dial bezel with the eagle and the purple and yellow dial scale are very impressive. This one had some veneer missing and had some rust on the chassis, so it was really a labor of love to bring this one back. I removed the original finish, repaired the veneer and reapplied Mohawk toner and lacquer. The speaker grille clothe was badly deteriorated and replaced with a perfect clothe. The chassis was cleaned and painted with Restoleum Silver Hammered paint. All the controls were cleaned and lubricated. All of the electrolytic and wax/paper capacitors were replaced and the remaining components were tested and replaced if out of calabration. The tubes were tested and rplaced if bad or even weak. This is a classic looking 5 tube radio that plays and sounds good.

Emerson is the brand name for the Emerson Radio and Phonograph Corporation of New York, New York. The picture is before the radio was restored. When you click on Explore at the bottom, you will see pictures of the restoration. This radio is one of my favorites and is a real bohemoth. It has 9 tubes with push pull audio and tons of bass and volume. The original finish had yellowed and was fully stripped and was toned with Mohawk Medium Brown Walnut and then cleared with Mohawk Nitrocellulose Lacquer. The plastic dial covered was yellowed and replaced with an exact reproduction. All of the electrolytic and wax/paper capacitors were replaced and all other components were tested and were replaced if out of tolerance. All the tubes were tested and replaced if weak or defective. A new old stock tuning eye tube was installed and works very well. All the controls were cleaned and lubricated for smooth operation and the chassis was painted with Rustoleum Silver Hammered paint. All of the decals were replaced on the cabinet with exact water slide reproduction decals. This is a real player and will fill the room with the warm sound that can only be produced by an anaolg tube radio.

This is a small table top that uses the same chassis as the 1939 Silvertone 6120A which I have for sale as well. This one was pretty rough and has a small 1/2 inch wide split in the top right front corner where the veneer waterfalls over the front of the radio, but doesn't detract from its attractiveness. I dismantled the radio and cleaned the chassis and cleaned and lubed the controls. All the tubes were tested and weak or defective tubes were rplaced with NOS tubes. All electrolytic and wax/paper capacitors were replaced with current production Mylar capacitors. I installed a new polarized AC cord for safety. I stripped off all the old finish and retoned the cabinet with Mohawk nitocellulose Warm Brown Walnut and Perfect Brown toner. I then applied numerous coats of Mohawk gloss clear lacquer with light smoothing betwwen coats. The plastic dial lense was cracked and was replaced. I reassembled the radio and turned it on and as expected it played identical to the 6120A.

This is a beautiful cabinet with multiple veneers and inlays defining the sections. A picture can't do this justice. I have only seen one other of this model radio, so it is a pretty rare set. I disassembled the radio and cleaned up the chassis, lubed the controls and replaced all the eleotrolytics and wa/paper capacitors. All tubes were tested and poor or bad tubes were replaced with NOS tubes. All resistors were checked and any out of tolerance were replaced. This chassis has a spring loaded tuning shaft and it has a cone shaped rubber tip that when you push in on the knob the rubber tip contacts a wheel attached to the tuning capacitor and moves the dial. The rubber had hardened and had a flat side from sitting in the same position for years. I used Liquid Electricians Tape to coat the tip and fill in the flat spot. It works perfectly now. I stripped the cabinet used three color tones to refinish the cabinet and cleared it with Mohawk nitrocellulose semi-gloss. I put it all back togther and it enjoys a prominant place in my home office.
