 I would rather have one of these then one of the motorized dial models, either under the Trutone or Detrola brands. Not only do the pushbuttons clutter up the front panel but if the auto tuning mechanism jammed up it was almost guaranteed to burn out the 24 volt tuning motor winding on the power transformer, or even the primary, for some reason they didn't think of connecting a fuse in series with the tuning motor. They are nice looking radios, but when I got into this hobby in the late 80s early 90s nobody really had an interest in private label department store type sets, regardless of who built them, and before Dennis Smith (Mr Detrola) set up his web pages nobody really paid much attention to anything Detrola built. It was pretty much the order of the big black dial, Catalin crap, and then Atwater Kent, RCA-Victor, Philco, and every other make in a declining pecking order with private label type sets near the bottom.
