Flea Market Truetone
#4

Yeah, Arran, I know what you mean. Denny Smith, who frequents the Antique Radio Forum, had an aunt, who worked at Detrola. He's the proponent of the Detrola interest. Denny tells me that Western Auto sold so many radios,m that Detrola had a separate assembly line in the plant for western Auto Trutone sets!

I've never been a Detrola fan, but there were a few sets that I could have liked. Note that the set here had an RCA Ejector changer, so it must have been a higher level set.
