Classic Vintage Bakelite Crosley AM Tube Radio Model 58TK - RESTORED

Description

You are viewing a great example of a post war radio from Crosley. It is their model 58TK AM tube radio from
1948
and is one you do not see often in a radio collection. The cabinet has been polished with my 4-step process that brings out the original factory finish. It does have a small scratch on the top that doesn’t detract from the overall great look. The deep marbled Bakelite machine age cabinet and round dial give it an outstanding look. The knobs, grille cloth, back and label are original.
Check out the photos!
This radio
plays the AM broadcast band with that warm, soft “tube sound”. Reception is through a standard loop antenna which is attached at the back of the radio. It easily picks up stations up and down the dial.
Thoroughly bench tested for a minimum of ten days, this unique radio is ready for you to use and enjoy. If your collection is lacking a great example of a rather rare post-war Crosley AM radio, now is your chance. Since it is
fully restored
you will want to listen to it every day!
I went through the chassis and replaced all the electrolytic (filter) capacitors, the major cause of hum. I then replaced all the wax/paper capacitors. The resistors were then checked and any more than 20% of their original value were replaced. All five tubes were tested good
using my
Precision 612 tube tester
.
The volume control and tuning capacitor were cleaned and lubed so they now operate smoothly and quietly. I also replaced the power cord with a polarized cord for your safety.
I then carefully cleaned and polished the chassis to a pleasing luster.
Lastly, t
he intermediate and radio frequency circuits were aligned to their peak utilizing my
HP
8601A
RF sweep generator and my
B&K
Precision Model 177 VTVM.
This will be a great addition to anyone's collection.

Please remember, although this radio has been restored to its original specs, it is still a vintage radio that employs vintage technology.  At the time it was manufactured it was not subject to the tremendous amount of RF interference that is generated today from computers, flat screen TVs, high-speed cable modems, light dimmers, etc. Careful placement of the radio is essential to minimize audio interference
It is my experience that different parts of my home will give me better reception than others. Some experimenting may be necessary for best reception.
