I am in the process of reducing my 1920s era radio collection. For sale is a clean WORKING Crosley model Super-XJ AM receiver. This is a 4 tube radio (1 RF, Detector and 2 AF tubes) and includes 4 good tubes. This is the Crosley version of the Superdyne receiver. Basically, instead of a regenerative detector, they use a regenerative RF amplifier. Please see the last photograph.
Cosmetically: The radio is very clean and the case finish is in very good condition both on the outside and the inside. The front panel and chassis are in near perfect condition with clear bright lettering. Please see the photos. Comes with Crosley ID card in good condition with serial number.
Operationally: The radio is in working condition with four good tubes. I am 50 miles north of New Orleans and I was able to hear most of the \"local\" stations and at night quite a few more. The radio can be used with a speaker or headphones. With the superdyne RF front end the receiver can be tricky to use. A good antenna, high impedance speaker and/or headphones are required as is an appropriate power supply.
In general, in addition to working, this is a very nice-looking radio and would make a nice display for your collection. It would also serve as an example of a superdyne type of receiver.Please examine the photographs closely as they are part of the description. If you have any questions, please ask them before you offer. Even though it will go in the box working, because of the radios age, it is being soldAS IS.There is NO guarantee stated or implied. I do NOT accept returns andNOoverseas offers please, only CONUS offers.
NOTE: When unpacking, please make sure all 4 tubes are seated properly in their sockets.
The radio will be carefully packed and shipped, insured and tracked via FedEx.The lucky buyer has 3 days to provide payment. Thank you for looking.
