I think I might have mentioned this radio in the phorum before, but now I am the owner of it after the previous owner and friend got hard up for cash. The radio in question is a Crosley model 179 tombstone, the art-deco tombstone Crosley made in 1934. Believe it or not, this radio almost ended up in the landfill last year because it no longer fit the decor of a suburban home that had just been remodeled!
Story goes that a relative of my friend was taking out his trash and looked over towards his neighbor's driveway, only to see his neigbor plunking an old radio into his trash can for pickup the next morning. He asked about it and got the radio for free, turning it over to my friend as a birthday gift. I can remember it because my friend called me late at night about the find, waking me up from a sound sleep! It is electronically rebuilt and aligned, and works fairly well with rather good sound. The cabinet needs refinished to bring to back to full glory and two of the knobs are wrong. I think the tuning plates might be rubbing right at 550 on the dial, but it is not an issue around here. Hard to believe that such a radio could still end up in the trash these days, but it still happens.
