  • Notes

  • The Crosley 128 "Battery Playboy" is an Battery operated 8 tube BC band receiver.  Has push pull audio output stage. Has shadow dial that uses neon lamp and continous (stepless) tone control.

    In many cases Crosley used the chassis number as the model number, and added a model name to some models to help distinguish versions that used common chassis.  Here are the models that used the 128 chassis versions:


    Model Model Type Chassis
    Battery Mayor Table 128
    Battery Chieftain Console 128
    Battery Playboy Table 128
