I picked up this old Crosley basket case at a local antique mall. As you can see, the radio has been painted brown. There are also some yellow paint splatters on the radio, no doubt from being parked in a room that was being painted. I seem to be attracted to the real basket cases. I won't even be able to work on this one until next spring, as it's not really warm enough to work outdoors now. With a lot of work, this tombstone could be a really nice looking radio. The wood seems to be in decent shape, and the grillecloth is great. Also, the knobs are not original.

The radio does not work as found. It emits a loud shriek when powered on. I have no idea where to start - this one will probably wait awhile. I knew I wouldn't have time to work on it when I bought it, but I didn't want anyone else to grab it first.
