Picked up this nice Tombstone Saturday at the Indiana Historical Radio Society swap meet. It's labeled as a "Monarch" and the seller stated it was made by Detrola. 7 tube chassis. It had been re-capped and a new power cord installed. Plays very well. I cleaned it up a little and my wife liked it so much we moved a Gloritone back to the "radio room" so that this could be displayed in the living room.

I also found a really good deal on a tested good UX-120 tube for the Radiola 25 I just got. A friend picked up some things he needed. Good people and a good time.
