Dunno who actually owns the brand. Their unsurprisingly poorly crafted wikipedia page has them headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky.
The original Crosley Corporation designed and manufactured aircraft, automobiles and radios.

... and owned the worlds most powerful radio station WLW back in the '30's, 500KW!
That'd make the birds drop out of the sky!

Re:trophile
No doubt, broiled and ready to serve before they hit the ground.
Seems Crosley no longer list the T150 system on their website, nor any sign of knockoff RB tonearms on any of their current offerings.

Given the selling price the arm can't cost more than £10 to £20, but it's probably way less.

This is why the majority of people still think vinyl is laughably crackly and lo fi even if they pretend to like the 'warm sound of vinyl'.

Just about! Look it up folks. There are sites with tours around the then still working, or only been taken out of standby duty 10-20 years ago but still intact... ish .... which I deeply commend to any tech head!
From the Blair-Knox antennae, the galleries of 5' high triodes, the class A/B audio amplifier which modulated it and was likely 250,000W output (yes a valve audio amp with either a pair or maybe 2 pair of putout valves, working from, at a guess something like 25,000V HT and probably the heaters for the valves could have been 12V @ 200 Amps ish).
There is a pic of a guy next to the output TX and it towers over him.
Most was water cooled, and fed to a large pond in the grounds where the water was cooled by feeding into "fountains" which cooled it down on exposure to air.
It was IIRC made by RCA and Westinghouse jointly and a second had been made.... for reasons that escape the grey mater right now, but was taken apart and exported to the UK in WW2 where it became " The Biggest Aspidistra" transmitter which was housed undergound and used for jamming enemy transmissions and various counter intelligence purposes. It was so powerful that the signal strength could fool "clever" enemy types into thinking it was indeed their own news channel!
