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.
