The Crosley 66TC is a six tube transformer operated AM/SW table radio. Based on the circuitry and release diagrams it probably was a pre- WW2 design that was held back from the 1942 product line due to the war effort demands. The earliest service diagram release was September 1945, one month after VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day). There were three versions of this model. The rarest is the Victory model which has a very patriotic looks to it, a bakelite (plastic) model and the wood look model shown

The radio was given to me by a Ms. Emilie L. Weir. She visited the Orange County Fair, Costa Mesa, CA in July 2014 and saw my Depression Radio Exhibit. She left a message that she had a radio that needed a good home. The radio belonged to her father Elmer E. LaFollette. She remembers listening to it at the farm she grew up at. They lived in Brown County, Kansas near the towns of Hiawatha and Robinson. She recalls the radio being in the home around 1943, but according to service release it could be later. Emilie loves horses and she is an avid collector of horse artifacts and artwork.
