Short Wave converter built as a companion to receivers such as the RFL-75. The Crosley model Lowave is a SW adaptor for 20 to 80 meters. Different coils can be changed to cover this. It picks up the short waves and converts them to the normal broadcast waves which can be introduced to a normal radio. It uses the same "A" battery as is used on the regular set. See also later adapters/converters of crosley like the model 7-1 etc. The Crosley Broadcaster of April 15th 1927 page 8 introduced it. See also Crosley folder for resellers, 1927.
