Crosley Bandbox 601 / What could go wrong??
#13

Ok so here's what I've been up to. I had some caps from a weather beaten AK 40, realizing that they both use a very similar tuning system I thought I'd try retrofitting the AK stuff to the Crosley.

The Crosley's cap are much deeper but the AK caps are wider. Had to notch them the clear the filament rheostat. If I were to do it over I might have used the original holes in the panel and drill and threaded the caps, not a big deal but would have been neater.

The belts were fiddly to make and fit. Made from a 2lt soda bottle cut into thin strips. It really wants to curl up which is a plus when it's installed but when cutting and drilling it's a pain.

Am happy that it mechanically works so far and just have to drill and tap the center hub to mount the dial. And build a gear drive for the dial.Once I get it that sorted I'll pull it apart and do the clean up and some paint. I wasn't sure at the outset that I could get it all to fit inside the cover, but it does!!
