THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Detrola made a lot of radios for branding purposes. You will find motor tuned models that were made by Detrola were used by Truetone, Silvertone, Aria, Air Castle... at least 20 different brands and many cabinet variations. This eight-tube, three-band (SB,SWx2) set is a strong performer with great sensitivity and push-pull audio utilizing two 42 audio tubes. The capacitors were all replaced and the resistors and tubes we checked and replaced where needed. The motorized tuner was gone through, and all the presets work well. Instructions are included for selecting preset stations. A new power cord, audio input, antenna wire and safety fuse were all installed. Gary stripped the cabinet, refinishing the walnut beauty to a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The radio retains the original knobs, chassis, pushbuttons and Rola speaker. A new crystal-clear dial cover from Mark Palmquist was installed. This rare radio is fully functional, and the original Detrola model is desired by collectors. 21"W x 11-3/4"H x 9"D.
