Do any of the Crowley reproduction radios function decently as a radio? My grandfather
Bought a GE cathedral reproduction of a GE radio in 1988, And it's actually quite a great sounding and performing radio.. The instructions even showed the internal Parts versus the original. |

Friends & family have given me "Electronics" over the past several years for Xmas & my birthday. They MEAN well, but I wish they just keep their money..I got a "Bubbler" radio several yrs back, it VAGUELY resembled a tombstone, w/Christmas Tree "Bubblers".. The lights dimmed on it if you turned it up above whisper-level.. It ACTUALLY received fairly well.. But civilians rarely know the difference between "Lightning" & "Lightning Bug" in radio sets..

Yeah Sandy, I had that same model, and like yours, the lights on mine dimmed when the radio was cranked up. I got tired of it gathering dust, so I put it up for sale on Craig's List for $5, but when I went to make sure everything worked OK, the on/off switch for the "bubbler lights" broke. So I dropped the price to a whopping $3 (and probably spent that much money in gasoline driving to a store parking lot to meet the purchaser).
I also noticed on at least some of these Crosleys, the power transformer is wired directly to the AC line and the secondary is switched, so the radio is sucking some power even when it's turned off. |
