1937 Truetone D-699 help?
#4

Steve, i'm not the sharpest knife on the Phorum, it is an 8" speaker with a field coil. The manufacture made radios under a number of names. Very attractive cabinet. It would no doubt cost more to get it to you than the price of the radio. Most people use Greyhound for delivery, cheaper, slower but a lot less handling. Not certain where Sanger is located or where the radio is located. I thought I knew most of CA. We are now in Placentia (Orange County). If the radio is relative close to you, time for a drive. Notice the schematic is Western Auto if correct. Relabeling and selling to others was very common which suggests that it shouldn't be too hard to find a speaker. Easy to post here in the "want to buy" or other forums. A lot of people have spare parts.
Good luck on your hunt.
Jerry

Possibly the radio your looking at?
