1953 Emerson 724
#1

Started on this Emerson 724 the other day. Only 4 paper caps to stuff and one dual electrolytic. The underside looks pretty much like the original after the recap. Radio is playing now with a bit of static; it seems very sensitive to the fluorescent and LED lighting in the shop. I'll do an alignment and then take a look at the Telechron clock to see if that's all working. There is a very faded note on the back of the set that seems to indicate the alarm and sleep mode might not be working. Taking the clock apart will be a new adventure for me if it needs work. The cabinet needs some cleanup, perhaps refreshing the Emerson lettering a bit as well. A cute little set. More later.....[Image: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nogc8cuf0...avky&raw=1]
