Emerson 659
#2

Jayce;
  I had an opportunity to buy a Canadian market version of one of these sets, but passed on it because I didn't really care for the styling which is sort of boring, it was an AM only set though. It may be an opportunity to try your hand at restoring one of your own sets, it's fairly simple for an AM/FM unit. There may be one potential snag however, if it has those mini slug tuned IF cans the silver mica caps inside one or both pairs may need replacement, which can be tricky. It also has a selenium rectifier which may be getting weak resulting in low B+ voltage.
Here's the service info on N.A, this time it's pretty complete:

If you want some help just ask.
Regards
Arran
