ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL CROSLEY PUP ANTIQUE RADIO RECEIVER

Description

A BEAUTIFUL CROSLEY PUP -- ALMOST 100 YEARS OLD
ALMOST FLAWLESS -- NOT QUITE, BUT CLOSE
YOU WILL NEED TO LOOK A LONG TIME TO FIND ONE NICER
HERE'S AN OLDIE BY CROSLEY -- THE PUP. PRICED AT .75, IT WAS AN AFFORDABLE RADIO FOR MANY AMERICANS. REMEMBER OUR FIRST AM STATION -- KDKA IN PITTSBURGH -- ONLY CAME ON THE AIR A FEW YEARS PRIOR TO THIS PUP BEING INTRODUCED.
THE PUP WAS INTRODUCED IN 1925. IT WAS A SIMPLE REGENERATIVE RECEIVER REQUIRING 22 AND 1.5 VOLTS. WHILE PRICED UNDER OTHER MANUFACTURERS WERE SELLING -- OR TRYING TO SELL -- RADIOS FOR ABOUT 0. BECAUSE OF THE PUPS MASS APPEAL, IT HELPED CROSLEY BECOME THE LARGEST RADIO MANUFACTURER IN THE WORLD -- AT LEAST FOR A WHILE..
THIS ONE IS NICE -- AND I MEAN IT. I'VE OWNED SEVERAL PUPS AND THIS ONE BY FAR IS THE NICEST. NO DINGS/DENTS/ETC. IT DOES NOT HAVE THE USUAL CORNER DINGS THAT YOU SEE SO OFTEN ON THESE RADIOS. THE PAINT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL AND IT HAS VERY FEW CHIPS ON IT. THE KNOBS ARE ORIGINAL AND THEY WORK/TURN/ETC. THE LABEL ON THE BOTTOM IS IN TACT AND IS NOT TORN OR DAMAGED. THE PARTS INSIDE ALL APPEAR ORIGINAL AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY "EXTRA" SOLDERING OF PARTS.
ALL INTERNAL PARTS MOVE AS THEY SHOULD -- THE CAPACITOR, THE POT, ETC. OVERALL, THIS IS THE NICEST PUP I'VE SEEN. ALL PICTURES WERE TAKEN WITHIN 6 INCHES OF THE RADIO SO YOU CAN SEE THE DETAIL.
I CHECKED THE TUBE AND DID NOT HAVE ANY FILAMENT CONTINUITY. SO CONSIDER THE TUBE FOR DISPLAY ONLY. I ALSO DO NOT HAVE A SUITABLE VOLTAGE SUPPLY (22.5 AND 1.5 VOLTS) TO TEST THIS RADIO. AS A RESULT IT IS BEING SOLD
UNTESTED AND UNKNOWN WORKING CONDITION
. THAT SAID, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SIMPLE RADIO...AND THERE JUST AIN'T MANY PARTS TO GO BAD. I'M SURE SOME OF YOU PUP COLLECTORS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO TEST OR HOW TO BRING THIS THING TO LIFE.
SINCE IT IS OF UNKNOW WORKING CONDITION, IT IS BEING
SOLD AS IS WITH NO RETURNS
. I ALWAYS TRY AND DESCRIBE ITEMS AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE AND I TRULY BELIEVE THIS WILL BE ON SOME COLLECTOR'S DESK BEFORE LONG. LISTED AS A "BUY IT NOW" OR I WILL ALSO ENTERTAIN REASONABLE OFFERS.
WILL SELL INTERNATIONAL VIA GLOBAL SHIPPING CENTER ONLY.
AGAIN, UNKNOWN CONDITION AND NO RETURNS. QUESTIONS? JUST ASK.
