  • Shown in "The Crosley Broadcaster" September 15, 1930 on page 16 with a picture are the models "The NEW Buddy", "The Pal", "The Mate". "the new leadership series" with "The Director" and "The Arbiter". The new Buddy is a table top model, the others are four Lowboys. The Pal has then a price of $ 74.50. Radio Collector's Guide 1921-1932 lists on page 54 for 1930 a model Pal 53F for $ 69.50 (Style C, 1,5, A, SG -2-1) and for 1931 and 1932 (mixed) on page 205 a "Pal" (only T for table and D for dynamic speaker). Therefore we list two models.
