Emerson Model 698 Series B

[Kevin Kuehn]

This is a recent Craigslist find that I couldn't live without. Apparently it's a seldom seen model. I've found no reference in Riders. Sams website index refers to set 125 folder 6, which is for models 662-B and 663-B. However my chassis layout is slightly different. The model 662B is the more common Bakelite cabinet version. This cabinet looks nice enough that I'm only going to do a light touch up to it. I also plan on doing an electronic restoration to this set.











Both of the rear knobs are in poor condition. If anyone has an extra set I'll gratefully take them off your hands.
