  • Notes

  • The Crosley C33-CA is an AC operated 6 tube combination phonograph player/recorder and BC/SW receiver.  Can record from either the radio or from an external microphone.  Has built-in loop antenna. 

    Note: Both the Crosley brocure and the Stein Table Top Radios Volume 4 indicate that this is a 3 band model, however the schematics in both the Crosley service data and the Riders data show a band switch with just 2 positions.  It is possible that the BC band may extend into the police band (Which would explain the difference), however we don't yet have a closeup view of the dial, nor any literature detailing the frequency tuning range of the bands.
