Crosley 5V2 - next project
#1

Christmas from my wife was a 1934 Crosley 5V2 to restore.  Its in relatively decent shape I think.  As far as I can tell the finish is original and I'm debating whether to completely refinish it or just try to modify it a bit to clean it up and restore the clear coat.  The previous owner said it was making noise and squealing so the power transformer goop at the back edge of the chassis may not be as bad as it could be.  The knobs are not correct so I'll be looking for some, maybe Kutztown in May?  Should be a fun restore and it will go nicely with the Crosley 173 that I did last year!

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
