TrueTone Model D-2026 series B Manual
#55

Spent some time today reading about companies that made radios I had never heard of. I never realized what a huge market tube type radios were. Made me wonder what they were like to work for. A technician like me. What did they do, how was the company to work for, what were their wages. Wonder which company made the radio I'm working on. They did a great job. I've spent far more money than it's worth to get it working to the extent that it is. With that said so far all it's needed is power, the right voltage in the right places, no tuning of anything not bad for 67 years old. One of the few things that can come back from the dead like that are old sewing machines, another hobby of mine. 
I know this has nothing to do with the technical side of the radio, but to me the other enjoyable part of the project. Since I can now plug this TrueTone into a wall outlet decided to install it in the cabinet. Set it up in the kitchen and enjoyed listening to Christmas music most of the afternoon. Just like it would have by unknown people in unknown places a long time ago. Wonder how long ago it was when it last played this seasons music??
