My First Crosley

[comet64]

This is my first Crosley- (Model #11-471BU) may not be a big deal to some, but as I have lived in Cincinnati all my life- 25 Radios and 17 TV's later I finally scored. I completely understand the frustration some threads have pointed out about the over-inflated prices of "antiques". You have no idea about how over-inflated Crosley items are in Powel "Whole Lotta Watts" Crosley's home town. Crosley had sold his empire after WW2- so this set is one of the AVCO-Bendix sets probably a RCA clone?
Anyway- I have the set, a owners manual and complete SAM'S for it. the missing items are the channel knobs, the speaker, 1-6T8 tube and the cover over the adjustments (v.hold, h.hold, contrast, etc.). A quick inspection shows nothing burnt or amiss. According to the notes on the SAM's the CRT was replaced in 1955 with a G.E. 12LP4-A. It will have to wait it's turn on my bench, (which will unfortunately might be a while)... This is my first post, hopefully the images uploaded!
