In 1920, Powell Crosley Jr. introduced the first low priced radio for $20 and soon became the largest producer of radios in the world. It earned him the reputation as the "Henry Ford of Radios." This beautiful cathedral radio with its chrome escutcheon and green back-lit dial is gorgeous, and in the next couple of years, Crosley would be transitioning to the newer, Art Deco tombstone cabinets. The 154 is a four-tube, AM only radio. We replaced all the paper/wax capacitors with new Mylar caps and replaced the tubes and resistors as needed. We installed a new power cord, safety fuse and antenna lead. We aligned the set to perform like new. Gary has restored the original finish to perfection and refinished the cabinet with a toning lacquer to a semi-gloss sheen. The chassis, speaker and knobs are factory originals. The dial scale has its original beautiful green color. This radio is like new, priced to sell and ready for your collection! 12"H x 10"W x 8"D. $495.00. (1600636)
