I had found an old 1950s vintage Crosley AA5 painted bakelite radio at the antique shop near me recently all I had to do to it to make it work was replace the old cardboard encased power supply caps and now its up for sale at a friend of mine's flea market for $50 (I originally paid $16 for the unit and the power supply capacitor was one I had salvaged out of an old philco radio I had attempted to restore but ended up having a dead tuner that I couldn't get going so I gutted the unit took all of the brand new caps I had bought to put into it out of the radio and recycled the guts and am now trying to figure out a way to get rid of the cabinet from the old philco radio.) Anyways the Crosley I had fixed up was a baby blue colored radio that Crosley only made a handful of for promotional purposes by giving one away whenever someone bought a Crosley Refridgerator, the model number of the unit in question was 11-119U which was what Crosley referred to as "Smoke Blue" but is actually a "Baby Blue" color, and this was a promotional model only and only saw a limited run of about a couple hundred sets or so.
