Crosley 517 "Fiver" (1938)
(wood tube table radio w/SW)

 The Crosley "Fiver" name was used on several models. I found at least six models using the "Fiver" name, utilizing the same basic five-tube chassis. The model we have for sale today was referred to as the "Fiver Compact Louver Front" and was available in three color combinations. The cabinet is metal with a louvered Bakelite grille. I would think they made a lot of them, but this is the first one we've seen, so maybe not? The 517 is a five-tube, two-band (AM,SW) radio. A nice feature is the three-dimensional mirrored dial. We replaced all of the capacitors with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse, antenna lead and audio input cable were installed. Gary cleaned up and repainted the radio to its original factory two-toned colors of bronze and black. The set has the original knobs, Utah speaker and chassis. The radio has a "factory-fresh" look to it and would be a great addition to any collection! 13"W x 8"H x 7"D. $495.00. (1600570)
