Thats a cool Radio for the AA5 type ac/dc sets Jayce! I restored one for a customer several yrs ago. The real "truetone" sound however, can be found in their late 30's sets with a power transformer, such as the D-723 (tulip grill wood table cabinets) and D-724,25 models. Push pull outputs with great tone indeed! And most of those old sets would allow swapping chassis', same mounting bolts and shafts patterns into the Truetone wood cabinets in those yrs. The round style D-723 dials assemblies on the chassis' could also be changed with the later square Truetone type dials radios, or vise versa, to allow proper fitting among all the Truetone wood type cabinet styles for a few years. Those were ALL Beautiful sets, and had nice large illuminated dial faces indeed with a Airplane type pointer and also had shortwave band.
