Crosley model 134
Found a 1933 Crosley model 134 wood tabletop radio at the Long Beach flea market this weekend. The speaker is unusual because it on the top of the cabinet versus the radio face. The radio face is all wood with two dial window plates, one in the center and the other at the top of the radio face with three knobs for each. The top dial window plate with no speaker cloth on the radio front makes the cabinet look similar to an old mechanical TV.

I'm beginning to think this Crosley is a Frankenset. Just in time for Halloween. There are two Crosley radio chassis: lower model=134, upper model=72. Why two broadcast chassis in one radio? The speaker is a Magnavox. The cabinet is 18 inch high x 16 inch wide X 12 inches deep so if the cabinet isn't original to the set I might convert it to a 12 inch mechanical TV.

Maybe it's an early diversity receiver, meant to use two longwire antennas set 90 degrees to each other.

It looks like the top mechanism is a Crosley model 7-2 converter versus model 72 radio.
See http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/crosley_7.html. The Crosley 7-2 converts shortwave to a signal within regular broadcast range. Last edited by rld-tv01; 10-24-2014 at 09:23 PM. Reason: add chassis photo
