  • Notes
  • Please do NOT upload pictures or information here. Apply to the specific models: either flat or round top cabinet.
    The literature is at variance about the model number 54 or 54G, as well as in the name: New Buddy, or Buddy Boy or New Buddy Boy. The only difference is in the cabinet, where a round and a flat top version exists. But which cabinet to which number and name belongs is not clear. The sources are divergent. Almost any combination can be found.
    Moulded Repwood , Tombstone. Although the schematic does not indicate, Crosley calls it a Neutrodyne in the original ad from 1930 (A Blast from the Past).
