    Description

    Up for auction is a vintage American Bosch Cruiser 66 battery radio.  I am listing the radio 'for parts or repair' due to the age of the radio and the rigors of shipping.  However I did get the radio to work. Using an ABC battery eliminator and a 20ft long wire antenna (both not i
    ncluded), I was able to pick up several stations in my area.   You will need either ABC batteries or an ABC battery eliminator and a long wire antenna to operate the radio and your reception may vary.
    Note the 'A' voltage did have to be around 4.8-5.0 Volts. Anything below that and you could hear static
    but would not get reception.
    Radio will come with tubes which will be removed, wrapped separately, and tucked inside the chassis for shipping.  Please see the above 'Condition Description'.  Please also look closely at all the pictures as all these can describe the radio and its condition better than I ever could.  Radio measures roughly 13" tall x 19" wide X 13" deep. and weighs in at 30#
