sorry, I have no experience with 9-12 VDC power supplies. Perhaps use one from an old laptop or similar device?

@@hobknobradio5511 nevermind, I just connected the 12v, now it works, thanks

Me too! I have several standing horse radios plus a rearing horse radio and a a native girl/wolf clock.

yes

Hi, congratulations on the find, they are great sounding radios. 1. Mine was walnut 2. I don’t recall the configuration of the jacks in the back for remote speakers. If they are RCAs, the ground is the metal outside of the jack and the channel input is the center pin, so any speakers that have RCA outputs should work fine. 3. I use these jacks to convert 3.5 to RCA a.co/d/97tHFRI Although you are losing a channel, the sound is usually very good. If it’s not good enough for you, you’ll need to build a stereo to mono adapter. From your device output, the ground will go directly to the radios input ground. Then add a 1000 ohm resistor to each output wire, tie the other ends of the resistors together and send them to the center pin of of a male RCA jack. Hope this helps.

@@hobknobradio5511 no, not RCA jacks for the speakers - just a pair of screws and neither is marked as ground, so it would be for one single external speaker. But the odd thing is that it says "stereo". The only RCA jack there is for the phono input.

Yes, thanks for the inqury.

@@hobknobradio5511 one more question...I was able to find a radio like this one. Can you tell me where to go in order to get the adapter so I can attach my cellphone to it?

I get the adapters on Amazon. I can’t attach the link here but you should be able to find them by searching Amazon for “CE 2-Pack Gold Plated 3.5mm 1/8 inch Female Mono Jack to RCA Male Adapter”.

These Stromberg models had a couple of different dial face configurations and colors. The one on my video was the original on that particular radio. The dial faces from Radio Daze come flat and you have to carefully bend and round them to get them in place. If you received a glass faceplate that was an error. If it was plastic, it needs to be bent into place. I am not aware of any models that were built with a flat inner faceplate and a clear external one.

I have seen some that have separate dials and covers. My dial doesn't look wide enough to fit, but the water bottle strip fits perfectly.

They are nice sounding radios, glad you were able to pick one up. I've had a couple and the biggest problem seems to be getting a good connection between the Loctal tubes and sockets.

@@hobknobradio5511 when I got mine somebody had run two separate outside wires to two of the pins on one of the power tube. Upon inspection one of the transformers was unhooked either by mistake or just came unhooked or unsoldered from the switch. Seems they were powering the grid from another source for a while or something or the heater

I love the Crosley's, great reception and sound. The most common seems to be bad IF cans, but they are usually repairable.

Thanks! I always publish the video a day or two before taking them out to Johns Road Antiques. So watch for one you like!

Thank you! It does look really good for 67 years old!

Thank you! That is a very nice sounding radio.

Thank you! Yes, nothing more satisfying than bringing one of these back to life and passing it on to someone who will enjoy it. As you note, its a break even at best, but loads of fun!

Thanks!

Thank you. This record player had three capacitors, an old paper cap and two electrolytics which were replaced with new. I believe it only had one resistor that checked out within specs so it was not replaced. The two tubes also tested good so they were not replaced.

Sorry, but I do not. These radios usually sell within a few weeks of when I make the video. The best way to get one would be to watch for the videos and go out to the antique store in Boerne soon after the video is made. If you are not local, my apologies but I do not ship and only use the antique store as an outlet. thanks, Steve

Do you have inventory right now in boerne?

@@rubenpena2959 Hi Ruben, there are only a very few still out there as I have been out of state for several months. I will be back in April and should have 5 or 6 new ones by mid April. I think all that is left now is the Dahlberg hotel radio, the red RCA portable, a tan clock radio, and the 1942 Philco wooden radio. I do this for fun and not really as a business so that is why I'm slow to stock inventory. thanks,

Hi Beth, you can get something similar from Retro Radio www.retroradioshop.com/products/am-transmitter-and-bluetooth-adapter-for-retro-vintage-or-antique-radios-1 I build a similar unit (as seen on the video) for $49, but won't have any stocked at Boerne Antique Store for a few weeks as I'm away from home.
