I picked up this Crosley console last week. I know these were top of the line sets being a Dumont clone. Before starting restoration, I'm trying to find some info on it. Mainly does anyone know what this model originally cost new?

Similar looking, but not a Dumont clone. The circuit design is less complex.
I believe you are off about the model #. I think it's either a 9-404 or 9-414
You can download the Sams 79-4 here:

This is the only ad I can find from the era, but it only has the tabletop version and no price.
Note the set at the top is a Dumont clone, but the one below is not.

Ah, OK. The thread title is missing a "4".
It's covered in Riders vol 4.
