This was Emerson's first attempt at the silver swan.It was a 5 speed.AC/AC, and drew .000000001 Amps.There were 2 of them.Tragically a GE designer by the name of Franks broke into the Emerson lab and stole it.Rumor has it he threw it it the Tippacanoe river ranting something about Emerson and boat anchors.LOL!

It is a nice restoration Michael, but I liked the original patina better.

Clockwise or counter-clockwise direction?

Royal Purple, or 3 in 1 Oil?

Did it have ear wax in the oscillator gear box?
