Hi everyone. Saw a d-701 Truetone console radio at a shop near me today. Looks to be in fair shape...missing all knobs and needs speaker cloth repair, but 98% intact. I've been considering a shortwave radio as my next project. The seller wants $70.00 for it, but we can probably negotiate. Don't know anything about truetone radios, so I'm drawing on your expertise. Were these good radios, or should I walk away from it?
