Truetone D725
 

This radio was also obtained from the lady that I've been getting stuff from. This is a Truetone D725 from '36. Does not currently work; but, I hope to change that soon. There looks to be a couple of Silvertone knobs on there. I had to give her $60 for this because "the book says that's what it's worth". Since I got such a good deal on the other stuff I got from her, I didn't argue with her. Anyway, I had one of them in a trashed case as a kid. It was still a decent playing radio.

There are some people that don't need to see a radio price guide. They think that just because the "book" says "x" amount of $$, then, that's what they expect to get for the radio. They fail to read the part about CONDITION of the radio or the part about the book being a GUIDE only and the prices do not reflect current retail value. Whatever happened to the saying "something's only worth what someone's willing to pay for it?"

Like I said, I gave her $60 only because I got such a good deal on the other "stuff" and I'll probably get more stuff. So, I didn't want to tick her off.

I guess I could post pictures, DUH!

Nice!

I had a similar model as a kid. The cabinet was in rough shape, and the radio needed a complete recapping. But, being a kid with a 25 cent weekly allowance, and with pop bottles found along the roadsides fetching only 3 cents at the corner store, I was more intent on saving up the 2 bucks for a 6L6GC than recapping an old radio, so it made a good source of other parts to play with. :o

Thanks for showing a walk down memory lane for me. :thmbsp:
