The marking on the loop antenna (if you look @ the ebay pics, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Emerson-Radio-/221308186535?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3386feefa7 ) would seem to indicate a 7KW-228 model.

I think you got it, Bob. I thought it might be a DQ398 http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/emerson_dq398dq_39_ch_dq.html
