Rare Truetone Tombstone twin speaker
#3

Few more pics, sorry I should have reversed the pictures in order from before to after. Note the cabinet when I got it had been refinished but lacked any toner or clear coat and just had something on the wood like a thin coat of varnish which looked terribly Icon_eh The twin speakers is an very unusually set up along with the matt black coating on chassis. When I took chassis apart the black showed up under the cans and condenser proving that indeed was painted like that from the factory. The black paint was flacking off in areas and was quite dirty which prompted me to refinish chassis as well since I had it tore down any way. I will post pictures of chassis later today because I am going up to shop and work getting this radio finished.
