• Notes

• There is a Crosley model Travo with metal case and a model Travo Luxe with a wooden cabinet. Stein has confused them and the metal model has two slightly different cabinets and we have to find out which one is the older and which one the newer and if both have really the same designation. In this forum thread you find more information about some models from 1933/34.
