The following is a recently completed Emerson DP332.
http://www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByModel/039/M0005039.pdf

I have read that this is an Ingraham cabinet even though it is very plain in style and has no badging either. Personally, I think the Ingraham cabinet is mostly a sales tool rather than anything truly meaningful. There are a few exceptions to that but seems to be an overused buzz-word.

It was an easy electronic redo and receives stations and sounds pretty good too. The knobs weren't with the set when I got it so these are RCA knobs.

Very nice, and the knobs work well.

Beautiful finish.
I would like to learn your process/steps on the finish.
Would you mind sharing?
Thanks,
Greg

Looks great, and the choice of knobs works well; they blend right in.

What did you use to clean the chassis with?

Ingraham cabinets are always functionally neat and attractive. always nice wood work. inlays. I have an earlier model Emerson Ingraham on the mantle. knobs look very much Emerson on your model

Thanks for the kind words, I will try to do a cabinet restoration thread soon.

I have a Philco 20 that I did a chassis redo thread on maybe I could do a cabinet thread as well; that one needs a lot of attention.

The chassis clean up involves the use of Navel Jelly (Phosphoric Acid) first and then a polish with some Brasso.
