A few days ago, Mrs. <deleted>, of
Herndon, Virginia, contacted me asking for assistance in selling her grandmother's Crosley model 03CA
console style radio. She found my Crosley 03CB radio restoration project
page while searching for information on hers. According to the schematics, the 03CA electronics are exactly the same as
the 03CB electronics; only the wooden cabinet is different.
As evidenced by the photos, Mrs. <deleted> 03CA radio appears to be in excellent physical condition. Note how well
preserved the burl trim pattern is on the edges and on the speaker grille rods. That was the one aspect of my 03CB that
could not be retained because Crosley used some sort of decal. According to her letter, the radio does not work ("It used
to sit in one of my grandmother's bedrooms, where I would stay when I visited"). There is one knob missing on the front,
but it can be replaced inexpensively from RenovatedRadioParts.com
