The original message asks about a field radio set.

The extremely inadequate description of the set is simply "Crosley".
If we assume this applies to a HF portable set, brings two candidates
to mind:

SCR-284-A    BC-654-A    Generator GN-45
SCR-694-A    BC-1306-A   Generator GN-58 or G-43/G

But Crosley made other "Field Radio" sets as well.  Since the courtesy
of an adequate description of the subject item is not extended in the
original request, it is a waste of time to proceed further.
