Good evening:
I have this nice little Emerson Bakelite 6 tube AC/DC radio with Loctal tubes with the following lineup:
7C7 (two), 14Q7, 14B6, 35Y4 and 50A5. Have spent several days trying to identify the Model No. to obtain schematic, but need some help. Must be around 1946 or 1947 with that line-up. As Philco came out with the loctal tubes, also looked for that lineup in Philco, but so far no luck.
Gerald

This set could even be immediate pre-war. Emerson was known for offering slightly different tube lineups for the same model depending on availability of certain tubes. If yours is pre-war, it will have two letters probably starting with F or G and a bunch of numbers which are the serial number of that particular set. Use the the two letters which are the chassis number. Emerson often used the same chassis in several different cabinets. Look up any Emerson on this site with the same two letters and that would be your model. The numbers following the chassis letter are the cabinet model number. Don't be surprised if the schematic shows all octals or a mixture. If pre-war, the number will be a 400 number or lower. If it is post-war, it will have a chassis number like 1200000 with some slightly different numbers to the right. They are post war chassis and the model will be a 500 series number or higher. Post war Emerson radios and phonos often came with either octals or miniature tubes.

I meant to say that on a pre-war set, the numbers after the letters if stamped on the cabinet or inked on the back, are the cabinet style. The extra numbers on the paper on the back of the chassis are the serial number.

Take a look at models 512, 515, 516, 550 Ch. 120056 located on this site, according to the notes on page 17-1 chassis 120056 uses the same tube lineup with the exception it uses a 7B7 (Super Control RF amp) instead of the 7C7 (Triple Grid Detector-Amp) all else being equal. This maybe close enough to get you going.

Thank you very Much Kirby and Fred. You both have been a great help. Looks like the model 512 is close enough to work with.
