Crosley Adventurer
#5

I am trying to get the parts scraped together to get this radio worked on and working. Actually located another speaker still hanging on the remains of another Crosley radio cabinet. Looked like it would have been the companion console to this radio, but all that was left was the front panel, two legs, and the speaker. Sadly, even this speaker has lots of cracks in the cone. Might be able to patch it to make a 'working' speaker to use to get the radio going again and use while the original is out for a recone. A friend of mine said Crosley used a Jensen speaker in these sets and so far I've found the paper to be very brittle on both speakers. Maybe high acid content in the paper?
I like leggy radios myself, but am out of room. Was offered a GE J-125, working, that is destined to be stripped for parts, but I just can't do it anymore. That radio is a story in itself.

No matter where you go, there you are.
