I am still looking in old electronics magazines for an ad featuring my
1941 Crosley model 03CB console
radio, but thus far with no luck. What makes the model special is that it was probably one of the last new radios sold prior
to the shift of material usage to military equipment in World War II. In fact, not long ago I found this brief
news piece in a 1942 edition of Radio-Craft: "Crosley
Scraps 1943 Line for Military Radios" reporting on how Crosley was converting its production line to support military
needs.

Two
combined Short Wave and Standard Broadcast Superheterodyne Radio Receivers
The Crosley Discoverer
With this marvelous new Crosley radio receiver you can know the thrill of listening direct to foreign stations,
air pilots receiving instructions, police calls and many other interesting and unusual things that travel the short
wave bands. Every channel from 14 to 550 meters is covered. Of course ordinary broadcasts can also be heard. It is
housed in an extraordinarily beautiful cabinet and sells at a sensationally low price.
$77.50 Complete with 7 Tubes
The Crosley Adventurer
The 12 tubes of this Crosley superheterodyne short-wave and standard broadcast receiver make it, we believe, the
most sensitive. best performing and most complete set ever offered at any price for home reception. The wave length
change, as in The Discoverer, is effected by means of a panel switch - no coils to change. The cabinet is a marvel
of furniture design. The price is amazingly low.
$119.50 Complete with 12 Tubes
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and west, prices slightly higher.
