1955 Emerson 838 hybrid
Small portable radio, thermoplastic cabinet
6 1/8 x 3 ½ x 1 3/8 inches / 156 x 89 x 35 mm
Three subminiature tubes (1AH4?, hidden deep), 1AJ5, 1V6), two AF transistors
One 45-volt "B" battery, one 4-volt "A" battery
Manufactured by Emerson Radio and Phonograph Corp., New York
Same housing in general as the 1953 four subminiature tube Emerson 747 — its 1AG4 audio tube was replaced here with two AF transistors, thus the somewhat opportunistic "TRANSISTOR POCKET RADIO" designation on the 838's cabinet's face.
