Yes, thank you. It wasn't cheap to obtain and have repaired, but it's one I couldn't pass on. It's interesting that Crosley waited until 1949 to offer a 7" portable and then outsourced the chassis from Sentinel, which was a great choice by the way. They used one of the nicest Tolex covered cabinets I've ever seen from this period. Heavy and solid as a rock with a very appealing tan and brown two-tone color. I like the brass "Crosley" emblem with the lightening bolt through it placed above the screen too.
