  • Notes

  • The Crosley Dual Fiver Lowboy is an AC operated 5 tube BC and Police band receiver. This model is the early production model (Crosley calls the late production version "Series 2") and uses the 42 output tube along with other passive component differences. The component differences are noted in the Riders schematics (Page 4-10).

    NOTE: The Schematics show the tube socket numbers, not the tube types!

    The picture from the Stein Pre-War Consoles book show only 2 knobs, however the 167 chassis has 3 knobs.  Pictures of this model from the Crosley Broadcaster show the proper 3 knobs.
