And now, a 24" Crosley....

Braving the house of a bachelor hoarder of all things Crosley, without concern for the SHARP aroma of two very noisy and slobbery mastiffs nor the presence of animal hair be it canine, feline, rodent, or (I dunno, maybe a warthog or something, P. freaking U. ), I emerged (kinda literally) with this Crosley F24COLU from 1954, sporting a 24" screen

The guy said he bought it in working condition, but never plugged it in because he appreciates his Crosleys for their aesthetics, and doesn't care if they work.

I swore I heard this set scream "OH THANK YOU!! THANK YOUUUU!!! TWENTY FIVE YEARS IN THAT GODFORSAKEN HOUSE!!!"

What the hell, it was $20. Cheap entertainment

Thumbs up

Hey Tim, what's new?
You've been finding some nice sets lately. When I read this post, I wasn't signed in yet, so I didn't see the photo--I was expecting a much rougher looking cabinet. It's actually in nice shape, huh? And a 24" screen b/w is incentive enough to get it running (for me anyway). I have always been after a large screen b/w set like one of those DuMonts with the 30incher. (yikes!)
Good luck with her

That was a funny story, and a nice looking set.
