The B695,
standing at 23 9/16 inches, was the second largest tombstone radio
that Crosley offered in 1936, the largest being the B599 which stood
at 25 3/4 inches. The B695 was farm set running on a single 6
volt battery that it converted, by means of a vibrator unit mounted
on the chassis, to a higher voltage for the B+ power
requirements. The glass dial has three bands printed in the
colors of Red, White, Blue and light Green. Only one call
letter is present on the dial, WLW, which was Crosley's own
station. I acquired this set at the 1999 Radiofest swap meet
at Elgin, Illinois. |
