Tell me about an Emerson Model 785 Series K radio/TV phonograph dated 1950?

I found one of these in the attic of the home I just bought. It has a tag and a date stamped on it "1950" All I can find is Emerson brand Model 785 Series K. Says radio/tv phonograph. Can anybody tell me the value of this item. Haven't tested the power but cord is attached and cosmetically looks to be in really great condition. Probably great for a collector.


A: Probably around $40, only because of it's Vintage-ness.

TVs aren't very popular as collector's items, because of the fact that the electronics on a TV set can't be restored like a radio can....

Radios are very popular, because you can rewind coils, replace capacitors, re-modify speakers, and replace vacuum tubes...

You can't rebuild the picture tube or rewind a High Voltage transformer.
Those are the projects that stop...

History

Emerson Radio Corp. was incorporated in 1915 as Emerson Phonograph Co. (NAICS: 421620 Consumer Electronics Wholesaling), based in New York City, by an early recording engineer and executive, Victor Hugo Emerson, who was at one time employed by Thomas A. Edison. The first factories were opened in Chicago and Framingham, Long Island, in 1920. In December of that year, the company fell victim to the unanticipated sales slump for phonograph music that accompanied the post-World War I recession and the growth of commercial radio. It went from the self-claimed third largest record manufacturer into receivership.
1921 - 1940
In 1922 Emerson Phonograph Co. passed into the hands of Benjamin Abrams and Rudolph Kanarak. Abrams, a phonograph and record salesman, along with his two brothers, ran the company and renamed it Emerson Radio & Phonograph Corp...
