What model is this Trutone?
#5

Quote:I was just thinking that it has a Wells Gardner look about it, Western Auto Supply marketed "Trutone" as it's private label brand, and had a number of manufacturers make sets for them. I think that Grimes Phonola/Dominion Electrohome used to build chassis designed by U.S manufacturers under license, I have one that is an exact copy of a U.S Radio and T.V "Gloritone" model 27, with that weird upside down chassis, but in a slightly different cabinet, branded as a "Dictator" the Hudson's Bay Co. private label brand.
Happy Christmas

U. S. Radio and Television Corp. was a company based out of Marion, Indiana, and I had an old Cathedral radio by them a Model 99A that used the "Gloritone" Trademark that I completely restored electrically and also the cabinet as well, and it was absolutely beautiful when I got done with it, but I ended up selling the unit.
