Well if I lived in the Chicago area, I'd already own it. Getting it to California, changes that option. Seller doesn't want to ship. The picture isn't the radio I'm looking at. I believe it's a '36-'37. Still hoping I can get it.
I will have a TrueTone D699 for sale. Have not yet tested but Nevada is closer than Chicago and who doesn't like Vegas so I'm attaching a pix.
If you want more pictures, tell me of what. I plan to test it this weekend.
Turned the console on and it plays. Any idea of the value?
I can't tell you the value but what I can tell you is that it will be worth a lot less if you turn it on again, a filter capacitor shorts out, and overloads the power transformer. Unless it has at least 8 or more tubes in it most collectors tend to stay away from consoles due to space considerations, this is even more so when it's a private label set. Then there is the condition that needs to be taken into account, like whether it has missing parts, or needs refinishing, has cabinet damage, etc. I don't know what the original poster would consider as a reasonable price for one, you would have to discuss that with him.
