THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Powell Crosley started The Crosley Manufacturing Company in Cincinnati in 1921 and quickly became the number one seller of low-cost radios. By the early 1930's, they were replaced by Philco as the low-cost leader. They later produced home appliances, automobiles, and produced products for the war effort. The "Dual Fiver" cathedral came out in 1934, and was followed by a later production model, a tombstone design which we have here. The "Dual Fiver" is a five-tube, two-band (AM,Police) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. We installed a safety fuse, polarized power cord, audio input cable and a new antenna lead. Gary did his usual masterful cabinet work. The Mahogany, Zebrawood and Birch veneers are beautifully refinished, and show the highlights of these gorgeous veneers. The original knobs, chassis and speaker are with the set. The correct green-lit dial is in perfect condition. This later-production "Dual Fiver" is hard to find, and never in this pristine condition! 14"H x 11"W x 8"D.
