  • Notes
  • There is this table radio model 615 plus the Crosley model 615 Cruiser, which seems to have the same cabinet as Crosley 655M but quite other tubes. Maybe the 615 table radio has the same cabinet as the 655 table radio too.

    The dial (of the 655M) has a diameter of 3 3/4 inch. For the model 615 there is a schematic from October 1935. It has Bradcast Band (540 to 1700 kc), "Police band" from 1650 to 4750 kc and Short Wave Band from 5.3 to 15 mc. There is a table model and a console with different loudspeakers (314 BL or 414 CL) but the same chassis/schematic. The two models have 3 IF transformers. There is a band change switch, a tone control switch, volume control with on-off switch and the tuning.
