I just bought one off of ebay and it's a hack job.I need to get a schematic for it and Nostalgia Air doesn't have a schematic for it.I need one for it.From what research I've done,it dates from 1942 according to Beitman.I've got it downloaded onto my laptop.
I found this video tonight, because I just pulled apart an old Emerson radio (identical to this one) that was in my wife's family. The guy made notes on the back panel that he restored it in 2001, but its got very low signal. Quite a few of the caps/resistors were replaced underneath it, but much of the wiring and the speaker are original. It looks like some of the tubes were likely replaced as well. I was just about to try to get an external antenna for it, but it still has the original wax one there (that this guy replaced) but I don't know how to go about finding that?
So will these types of radios not store electricity in them if you plug it in to test it before working on it? I'm restoring a 1939 Emerson for my sister and I'm so unfamiliar with the tech I'm hesitant.
I have the exact radio no dc voltage on 35z5 and 50L6

If you touched that, would you actually get electrocuted?
50/50 chance if you touch the metal chassis and controls.. Use an isolation transformer. Plug radio into it first.
16 minutes of this guy complaining.
No where is he fixing the dam thing.
Waste of my time.
This the first video of a series, your complaint is specious!
