Here\'s a Crosley 50-P regenerative radio in its original fold-up leatherette-clad oak cabinet. The radio still works, and it comes with a good (tested & working) UX-199 dry cell tube, a good (tested & working) pair of Marinette \"Little Tattler\" headphones, and an original Crosley flier from 1924 promoting the 50P and other radios.

Condition is excellent, close to mint. The radio is beautiful inside and out, with clean parts and wiring everywhere. Original lid card, with a serial number that matches the number engraved on the back of the panel. Original battery wires, with tags that are complete and undamaged. The radio includes hollowed out, professionally made replicas of 1920\'s dry cell batteries (and adapters) in which you can house new dry cells if you wish to power the radio as it was originally powered.

In the video I\'ve posted above, I\'m using an ARBEIII regulated DC power supply, a Brown mechanical amplifier and a vintage Souther-Cedar horn speaker. Only the radio is included.

With the lid lowered and the front gate closed, the radio measures approximately 9\" x 8\" x 6\". Shipping weight, properly packed, will be about 14 lb.

I\'m one of \'s best known, most highly regarded sellers of antique radios, and I specialize in radios from the 1920\'s.I\'ve been sellingand shippingthem for more than 25 years. When you purchase an antique radio from me, you\'ll receive a radio that arrives safely because it\'s been carefully packed (byme, not by some well-intentioned but nonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store who wouldn\'t know a phonograph from a farm tool), Sure, you can probably get a lower price from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your \"bargain\" arrives broken, and without any hint of how you might be able to put it back together, you\'ll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.
