• The Emerson 738B is an AC operated 5 tube BC band clock radio.  The BC band frequency tuning range is 540-1620kHz.  Has 1100W utility outlet on rear of chassis that is controlled by the clock.

  The SAMS Photofact Set 191, Folder 7 calls out model 718B. However the SAMS index for model 738B refers to this same Set and Folder and so therefore is applicable for this model also (Same chassis used in both models).
