Eames Studio: Emerson Model 588A Tube Radio

The article is about Charles and Ray Eames and their use of molded plywood to form beautiful cases for their radio designs. This model is the larger version of the 578A Emerson of the same year. The two are identical except for size. This set has been completely restored electronically. Measurements: Length: 11-Inches; Depth: 5-Inches; Height: 6-inches.
