For Sale: EMUD console radio

[Dinerman]

Let me preface this by saying: This is for all the washington/ Maryland area loungers. Due to the sheer size and weight of this thing, I will NOT ship it. This is pickup only. It probably won't sell because of this- but I thought I'd put it here first.

This is a EMUD stereophonic console radio. Record player, FM, AM, SW, Ferrit (whatever that is).
The only problem is this: when I first got it, I accidentally leaned on the keys, and they jammed. Someone who knows about radios could probably fix this.
The console is in very nice shape, and even as is, is a nice piece of furnature.


price is 60 bucks.

I'm in Olney, MD (close to Rockville)

Ferrit?? Isn't that a small furry pet?? Just Kidding!!

Dinerman,

I believe I am correct in saying that the Ferrit is the internal antenna. It did not require an external wire for an antenna like the Short Wave or FM bands would. In your photos of the inside of the case, I believe it is the dark rod and coil mounted near the top of the cabinet.

Great looking radio!! I hope it finds a good home.

Man, I wish I lived nearby! For $60 that's a steal! I've been wanting a German console like that (EMUD,Grundig,Telefunken,etc.) for a long time. There is an antique shop near my home that has a beautiful Telefunken that's very similar to the one that you're offering. At $600 it's got one too many zeroes for my current budget! Good luck in finding a home for her.

 

[Dinerman]

hear that marylanders and washingtonians?

it's a steal!

 

[Pilgrim]

Hamandbacon has it right. "Ferrit" undoubtedly refers to a ferrite antenna, which he and I see in the upper area in the open-back shot. It's the device with the red tip on the left side. (Ferrous metal and ferrite should strike a cognitive spark in this connection.)

I've seen more than one radio boasting a ferrite AM antenna.

 

[Dinerman]

it's still here.
washingtonians?
marylanders?
northern virginians?

Sefton, since you're in the SF Bay Area, do you know about
Aladdin Electric out in the Avenues in SF? They specialize
in tube radios and usually have a Telefunken or a Grundig
ready to go. Totally refurbed for closer to $300.
I keep meaning to start a thread on the hi fi
German radios of the 50s in the Radio section.

Dinerman, that's a beaut and probably sounds great. You
might try fooling with those keys...

 

[Dinerman]

do you know how to get them to pop?
i've been fiddling about inside, but so far no luck.

Not sure what you mean by "pop".
I'm certainly no expert myself (and my Grundig-Majestic
has key connectivity problems). But there are
a lot of radio enthusiast sites easily found through Google.
Those folks are often very happy to help with specific
problems and keep archives of schematics.

 

[Dinerman]

see- the buttons are on a system where only one can be pushed down at a time, so when one is down, the rest pop up. I'm guessing there should be some catch or spring I can jiggle to make the keys go back up.

I was cruising ebay, and I found the same radio, just in a lot worse shape for 275 bucks. it's Item number: 6610297839
If that's what a junked up one sells for, think of the steal you get on this.

It's times like these that I wish my parents/grandparents/in-laws were still alive. My father-in-law could have told you in a snap how to fix those buttons.

In various old radios that I have owned (in cabinets or cars), I would sometimes try to get all the buttons in their "neutral" positions by depressing one just part way and fooling whatever the mechanism is that keeps it down. I wish I knew how to fix it!

I'll put on my thinking cap and see if I know anyone that might be able to help.

I am assuming this is no longer available, but on the chance it may be, I am interested in purchasing it.

 

[Dinerman]

Unfortunately, yes, it sold six years ago.
