Western Auto Radio Restore

Western Auto Stores".
Thanks for the link to history of company. Interesting you live around something all your life and don't really know the history of how it came to fruition.

 I think that C.R.T stands for Continental Radio & Television, which was the original name for what later became the Admiral Corporation. I have a very similar model of Truetone but the cabinet is different from yours, the speaker grille wraps around the right hand corner and the veneer and the top are made from walnut rather then mahogany.
