_nr2.jpg "Crosley 517 \"Fiver\" (1937)") |
The compact 1937-38 517 "Fiver" tombstones are very popular probably due to their smaller size and the famous gold mirror dial. This is a very nice example; a "Fiver" mini-tombstone is an impressive radio for its small size picking up all my locals & beyond with only a short antenna wire. The Model 517 is a five-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio and 5-inch speaker. It has been electronically restored a few years ago when it became part of my smoke free collection and works extremely well, covering the broadcast (550-1700 KC) and Shortwave (6-15 MC). Many Crosley models used the chassis or the name "Fiver." The original knobs, speaker and chassis are present, along with what appears to be original grille cloth as well as original finish. The dial is very colorful, is backlit and has a mirror behind it which makes it "pop." The wood is simply beautiful as pics should show. Chassis is very clean and the factory sticker is inside the cabinet. Original Utah speaker & cone is perfect. Crosley Radio Corp., Cincinnati, Ohio was started by Powell Crosley, Jr. and he eventually owned the Cincinnati Reds baseball team. 12-1/2"H x 10-1/2"W x 7 1/2"D; 10 lbs. $329.00. (1640340) |
