There are 3 models associated with the 146 and 146-1 chassis that are not identified in the Crosley documentation.  The models are as follows:

Model Model Type Chassis Speakers Notes
146  "Announcer" Console 146 Qty(1) According to the Crosley documentation, the "Announcer" model name is associated only with chassis 124-1 and 126-1. It is not known if this model was originally built this way by Crosley or if the original "Announcer" chassis was exchanged with a 146 chassis at some point later in time.
146-1 "Legislator" Console 146-1 Qty(2) This model is pictured in the book by Mark Stein: Pre-War Consoles.  The Crosley documentation does not list a model called "Legislator".
146 "Tombstone" Table Top 146 Qty(1) The chassis in this model is labelled 146-1, however the chassis is actually a 146 chassis, since there is only 1 filter choke and a 4 wire speaker cable to support just 1 speaker.  The chassis is also factory ink stamped "SENATOR", which is a known console model supported by the Crosley documentation (But using a 146 chassis!!)  It is not known if this model was originally built this way by Crosley or if the chassis was placed into this cabinet at some later date.
