THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Many people hail this Crosley model as one of the finest designs the company produced. The cabinet echoes many artistic elements found in the 1930's...the "Skyscraper Empire" design with silver trim elements and the ebony top. This radio screams Art Deco! The 179 is a seven-tube, two-band (SB,police) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were replaced where needed. A new power cord, audio input, antenna lead and safety fuse were added. This set is a strong performer across the dial. Gary did his usual mastery on this unique cabinet. He stripped off the old finish, and using high quality products, created a true masterpiece. He hand painted the ebony top and sides, as well as the silver elements on the front. He then hand polished the radio to a gorgeous luster! The radio has the original knobs, chassis and 8 inch Magnavox speaker. Certainly the centerpiece of a collection, showing the Art Deco design of that period. This beauty awaits the new owner, a radio to truly be proud to own! 17"H x 14" W x 8-1/2"D.
