It shows a speaker that sits on top..

You probably have a "keeper"

That's mine! But it has a really neat stand. And the speaker is cool.

Model #706 is electric while they made a #705 that was battery powered...another pic.

Mind you, I'm NOT a radio expert...it's just that Google and I have been close friends since he was just a wee tot.

Here is a link with a decent picture of one
with the price it sold for a couple of years
ago.

Thank you! That's it. This one actually works. Or would work if I could find a station. I'm afraid it'll be like those old Twilight Zone episodes and I'll pick up something from 1928......

That Crosley was considered a "portable" radio for the time.


It's a treasure, enjoy it.

Uncle Mac was a treasure, too. Bought himself a 68 GTO last summer. Let my cousin drive it (with himself in the passenger side). Some guy pulled out in front of them, my cousin hit him. Tore that car UP. Broke the cousin's arm, banged up the other guy, Uncle Mac didn't have a scratch (at 99). But he was royally pissed at my cousin for wrecking his car.

He broke his hip four years ago. The PT guys recommended exercise. He took them up on it. He walked the track 2 miles every day till he died right before Christmas.

You may want to check this forum out, possibly a good source for radio info.
