Product Description
Crosley Companion - Walnut (CR31-WA) AM / FM Radio.“Happy Days are Here Again” went the most popular tune of 1930, but for most Depression-era Americans, the sentiment amounted to wishful thinking. In 1932, Herbert Hoover was defeated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt by a landslide. It quickly became apparent after this runaway victory that FDR embodied and indomitable optimism and a speaking voice which seemed tailor-made for the medium of radio. He began delivering regular radio addresses to the nation known as “fireside chats.” And FDR wasn’t the only thing Americans were listening to. Now with unemployment at an all-time high, more Americans than ever were relying upon radio for their evening entertainment. Hard to believe maybe, but radio performances truly struck a deep chord with the American public. And all such tunes and talk were most magnificently enjoyed on radio sets just like Crosley’s Companion. Careful attention to detail makes this mini, yet magnificent, Cathedral-style radio as authentic as the 1930’s original.

I bought this radio for my mother for mother's day, and she loves it! Reception is fantastic and the sound, while not exactly vacuum tube warm, has that "contained in wood sound" (I could just be crazy though). And trust me, the picture doesn't do it justice, it look much better in person (even though it looks great in the picture). My only wish would be that it were bigger with a bigger speaker. It's not exactly prototype size.

I purchased this radio a little while ago, and have been pleased with it since delivery. First, it looks wonderful, has that old style look to it with the dark Walnut, goes great with any decor. Second, the sound is great, sounds much better than my old clock radio. Unfortuantely, this does not have a clock, so I still need my alarm, but I have this sitting on my desk to listen to my local radio stations. The stations come through crystal clear. I live in Philadelphia and am picking up Deleware radio stations! The build quality is very good, it feels very solid.
I definately reccomend this product, and come to think of it, any and all Crosley products. Thet are all very good looking and solid products. This is actually my second Crosley item, and I will continue to purchase their products.
