  • Notes
  • Emerson Model 555V (Chassis 120510).  Made in USA.  AM only.  Five transistors marked with Emerson code: E072 (converter), E073 (1st IF), E074 (2nd IF), E075 (driver) & E076 (output). Chassis made with cellulose acetate (early plastic) with clear back and lattice grill.  Can easily be confused with 1959 Emerson Model 555  - the inside label distinguishes the 555V model.

    Manufactured with a white or gold back cover on six different body colors (black, ivory, coral, charcoal, gold, turquoise).
