You don't hear too much about those WLW models. I guess between being so rare, and not having the allure of the Zenith strat, they sort of get set along the wayside.
I do have a short story a fellow told me a few years back about the WLW console radio: He had a buddy who was an old time repairman in Cincinnati (home of Crosley) who wound up having 3 or 4 of these things in his garage. It seems they were such a bear to maintain that his customers wound up trading them in after a few years for a model that wouldn't blow up constantly. He just didn't have the heart to throw out such high-end gear, so there they sat in his garage.
BTW, on the subject of high tube-count models, you forgot the Scott Quaranta-a 40 tube monster that needed three cabinets to hold it all.
