THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Western Air Patrol were sold on the West Coast through Western Auto Supply stores. These radios were made at the Gilfillan factory in Los Angeles. For the east coast stores, they were marketed as Truetone and came out of the Gilfillan factory in Kansas City. The relationship between the two locations was too complicated and lengthy to go over here, simply two different makes of radios sold by the same company. Gilfillan made a lot of the chassis for them, but they also used other companies as well, all of them working out of the Gilfillan factories. The model M3T is a six-tube, two-band (AM,SW) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. We checked the tubes and resistors and replaced where necessary. We added a new power cord, safety fuse, antenna leads and an audio cable for Bluetooth, iPad etc. The radio has separate AM and SW antennas. Gary stripped the cabinet and refinished, ending up with a beautiful "piano" lacquer finish. The original chassis, knobs, speaker and grille cloth are with the set. This unique and good performing radio is solid and ready for your collection! 15"H x 12"W x 8"D.
