A Truetone Anyone?

Thought I'd contribute to the B&W thread. Here's a shot of my roundscreen Truetone (trust me ). I have the operating instructions which have a date of '51, although internally I'd say the design was dated then. It uses a continuous inductuner with a dial cord to a seperate tuner for the built-in AM radio. I'm not entirely satisfied with the results, I replaced the dud metal cone crt with a brand spankin' new all glass substitute and I don't think the horizontal circuits like the change. Also odd is the number of capacitors in this baby, and individual electrolytics. Of course I have no schematic for this set, bah! If anyone has any info, give a holler!
