I have been told by a Crosley expert that this is the earliest version of this radio because it was made by the Precision Equipment Co. Even though Crosley had just acquired them. The later version states that it was made by the Crosley Co. The cabinet shows normal signs of age and wear: light surface scratches, dinks & dents (mainly on the edges) and some minor flaking of the original finish. The hole in the top is supposed to be there because this radio originally had a tipped tube in it and that was to accommodate the tip and also to allow the heat to escape. It has its four original rubber feet which are in great condition. The black bakelite panel has no cracks, chips or breaks and the white writing is excellent. The bakelite knobs are all present, in excellent condition and turn freely. The interior is very clean. The chassis appears to be complete and has a brown and white mottled porcelain tube socket. It has an O1A tube that is untested. If you get it and it works, more power to you! As you can see by the photo, the identification card is stained, but easily read. This small radio measures approx. 11″ long, 4 1/2″ deep and 6 tall. A nice example of this early set! I don’t claim to be an expert on these so PLEASE review the photos as they supercede the description. If you need more close-ups we will be happy to oblige. Thank you for your interest!
