Can anyone help identify this cute little Emerson table model? Maybe steer me to a schematic? Here are details: 25Z5-6D6-6A7-6D6-75-43; wooden case with serpentine top and asbestos sheet stuck to underside of the top; small round dial with two bands...am/bc plus 6-14 mHz +/-; bandswitch on rear apron of chassis; written in pencil in right front of chassis is "456 ke" (c?), plus 11-15-36; rear plate says ser # U6D-471060. Now assuming I get it to play, what does one do about replacing the asbestos and removing all the heat? This cannot be the only set out there with this sort of problem. Sure is cute, but sure is a lotta heat in a small space. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jim, Your set is either a model 38, 42 or 49 with the U6D chassis. I think it's probably a 38, made in 1934. The 456kc (meaning 456 kilo cycles) indicates the IF of 456kHz. It may have been written on the chassis by a service man in 1936. I'll email a description and picture of the 38 plus the schematic which is the same for all these models.
