I just purchased an old Crosley radio from a friend of mine and I am trying to date it and find manuals and\or schematics for it. The model number is TK52, serial number 2396124, and the chassis model number is 64. It is a 5 tube tabletop with AM and shortwave. It has 3 nobs (volume / power, band selector and tuning located below the tuner), a wood grill speaker (on the left) and a square tuner (on the right). It also has 4 preset buttons (adjustable with a screw driver from the back) and 1 button (which is missing from this unit) to return control to the tuning nob, located above the tuner. There is a metal strip above the presets that hold labels for the them (WGN, WBBM, WLS, and WHFC labels are still there but the return button has no label). Email me with any info on this radio. Thank you in advance.

Hi Jason

Crosley TK52 is shown in Collectors Guide to Antique Radios as being built in 1941. A scematic can be found here on nostalgiaair.
