I picked this Crosley up on "ePay" a short while back. It's "barn fresh" and in need of lots of TLC. My immediate question is what model is it? The interior labels were missing. Searching the web I found one that looks close at: http://www.crosleycars.com/non-automoti ... radio1.jpg Unfortunately, no model number was associated with the picture. From another site I think I've identified it as a P-50BK or P-50BG. Can anyone verify that? :?

My best guess is that it is a model P-50, and the BK and BG suffix would indicate which color.
BK (black) and BG (beige)

I found a schematic on line that matches the tube line up and general layout. That's basically where I got the idea that it might be a P-50BK or BG. The tubes are: 1R5, 1T4, 1U5, and 3V4. :)

Looks like the P-50 and the P-60 used the same chassis. The tubelineup does match -courtesy of Radiomuseum http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/crosley_p_50bg_p50bg_ch_5060p_506.html

The photos I found on the web, show the grille on the P-60 appears to be a basketweave plastic. So your guess on the P-50 looks to be correct. http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/crosley_p_60be_p60be_ch_5060p_506.html
