Well here we are in 2025 and finally finished this gorgeous Crosley 11-117U from 1951. This model is nicknamed the "Serenader" or most often referred to as the "left hand Bullseye". This unit has been completely gone over, all wax caps changed out, all resistors checked to spec, all controls cleaned and lubed as well as an option added for Bluetooth so that you can stream your device through it. Just flip the switch on back to BT, turn on the included BT receiver and pair it with your device and listen to the beautiful sound of a tube amp streaming your music. This radio has been repainted in a close match to its original chartreuse color, and was recapped years ago by myself, we only added the Bluetooth lately.
It is for sale here for a week, this is to give our followers first dibs on it, if no buyers interested, we will then move it to local FB marketplace.
Selling for $220 with an included Bluetooth receiver, which we think is more than fair for the time spent on the restoration as well as owning a fine very collectable radio that will work great for another 50 years.
Shipping can be arranged, however a $20 flat rate packing charge will be added to the actual cost of shipping as the radio will be carefully double boxed so it arrives safely. local pu is preferred.
