Flea Market Truetone
#6

The radio portion of my Truetone radio-phono is now up and working! The bad thing was that the voice coil on the original speaker was not good and the cone crumbles from the slightest touch. My friend came up with a novel solution until I can find a proper repacement. Use an 8 inch PM speaker (which just happens to fit where the original went) and bypass the voice coil wires to it while still using the original speaker for the field to keep the radio happy. Not a totally pretty idea, but it works quite well and this radio sounds rather good.

   

I really like the dial on this unit. Because of being under cover, the colors are still quite vivid when the radio is on. Also a good performer that sucks in stations quite well.

No matter where you go, there you are.
