Nice job on the little Crosley. I had a batch of Crosley's still in the box several years ago and two of them were 52TA's like yours. I gave the nicest one to a friend and kept the other one. It wasn't quite as nice because it looks like it might have sat out as a demo in the store for a while.

I agree that these simple little sets are pretty decent performers. I have a similar little Detrola that a dear friend of the family picked up for me. The little wood cabinet is all beat up, but after a quick recap it has been a daily player in my garage shop for years. I initially kept it just for sentimental reasons, but its performance has earned it a permanent spot in the shop.
