Gentlemen:
I need help in Identifying old Emerson radio. I can't find any markings on case or chassis. Someone suggested I email you with the tube numbers and you may be able to I.D. There are 7 tubes;
Qty. Type
4 6BJ6
1 12AV6
1 5OC5 GE 61-35
188-5
1 GE 61-30
188-5
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Sam

I am sending you a schematic of Emerson 641B. It has 7 tubes and uses 4 6BJ6's. The last 3 tubes listed may be date codes rather than tube numbers? Tubes 12AV6 and 12AT6 are interchangeable.

:Hi Norm
Thanks for Identifying the Emerson as 641B. Now could you tell me the approx. yr it was made. Is there an online site that dates radios if you have the model no.
Thanks again. You guys are Great!!!

Hi Sam
Emerson 641B is listed in Collectors Guide to Antique Radios as being built in 1951. There are online sites that date specific brands of radios such as Atwater Kent, Crosley. I don't know of a site that dates all brands.

Hi Sam
You could use the Rider volume number to give approximate age of a radio. Bill Harris has a breakdown at his web site.
