Hi jr , Something very weird , when I look at your post I can't see the link to the crosley , but when I quote your post to reply to you the link appears ? I wonder of this is a setting on my end or something with VK , like the way I get the weird "Align OrderedUnorderedDecreaseIncreaseInsertRemove" script at the top of the reply page ?
Anyway , Yes I'll bet the Crosley single tube will be a great schematic reference for Rachelle if she decides to try to get it to work .
And Rachelle , there will be one other adjustment besides the ones on the front of the radio that you may need to be familiar with if you try to run it . Inside the radio there will be what's called a "Grid Leak Resistor" that will usually be adjustable between around 2 to 20 Meg Ohms , give or take a few . Some are and some aren't adjustable .
Edited to add pictures . This is a typical adjustable grid leak as found in radios such as yours . See how the meter changes as the adjustment is pulled out or pushed in ? Adjusting this will be part of operating your radio if yours is adjustable , some are and some aren't and I figured if yours is , you would need to know about it .
