Crosley "Gemchest"

I carefully "fired" it up, tubes light, produces a minor static sound but no play. The speaker has been replaced (Crosley had a bad run of these early speakers due to poor Pot Metal). The color is the proper shade by someone in the past has re-painted it. I include my vintage poster ad for this radio in the deal.
