I restored a couple of those and they worked good. That dial all cleaned up with the light in it looks really nice. The painted dial marks are pretty durable but do not use anything strong like WIndex with ammonia to clean the inside of the glass. I found out that the radio could tend to squeal if you did not use either a shielded tube or metal tube in the IF stage.
Nice old radio I know you will fix this radio and make it like new your MR. Easy well you make it easy but that is great you very talented and have done very well in the past looking for next video.
I think Crosley named every other model "the fiver". I can think of at least 9 different models that they called "the fiver" and from at least 3 different decades LOL
Nice straightforward restore possible as the radio does work fine. You do good work on cabinetry so I'm looking forward
to the part two.
Neat little radio!

It’s like they had a Patent on it 😀
What product do you use on the volum and tone pots to clean them out?
I use a contact cleaner made by wd-40. It cleans them and lubes them.
