After many instances of finding a cheap Crosley Radio disguised as a 3W1 wallbox I finally found the real thing in a local store, she was asking $250 but we negotiated it down to $130 since it needed a lot of work.

It's missing a few little things, all of which have been located and purchased on eBay, the most obvious thing was the transformer was gone, probably scavenged for another box, they just pried it off so the back plate was bent a little on that corner, I managed to straighten it out.

Even with the parts ordered I still have less in it than I could get one for on eBay, plus I didn't have to ship it. :)

Other things missing or damaged were the lock cylinder (drilled out :roll: ) Coin box gone, light deflector missing, I also ordered the three prong plug needed to hook it up.

The Chrome is in fair to middling condition, a good polishing should suffice for now.

The rest of it looks good but very dirty.

I've never messed with one of these before and my M100B has never had one hooked to it in the last 47 years so I'm sure to have some issues getting it all working.

I should probably recap and clean the Stepper unit since it's never been touched.

Good Job! With the cost of chrome these days I have learned to appreciate the older "veteran" chrome. I've hooked up a couple wallboxes to my Seeburg Hideaway. I don't remember any particular difficulty except being certain the steppers are cleaned, I did lube the shafts a bit after cleaning and changing the capacitors. Good Luck!!

Two 220 to 110 in series will work.
