Just today I won a receiver at a local auction. It is "The Crown" 5 tube receiver made by the Custom Built Radio Company in 1931. I am trying to find any information about the company as all I can find are 2 advertisements in radio publications from the time, one of which is for this particular receiver. I already have what I believe to be an accurate schematic, but I would like to know more about the company.
