Truetone 724 cabinet makeover
#7

So you did do the columns..whoops I misunderstood Fred. She's a beauty.
Arran I couldnt agree more on the motorized tuning models (727 I think). Nice if you find an example
where its working but otherwise it's a crap shoot. Some of the parts are a nightmare to replace or have made.
Ive had a couple of the 724's like Freds and for my $ its one of the best playing radios made at the time.
Along with the 723. Good series of radios made for Truetone and the darned things sure sell well.
Restored Ive seen em go for minimum 400 to sky is the limit depending on refinish and sales venue.
The fully restored example I own will never leave my clutches. I think I have around 15 Detrola made
radios..Detrolas/Truetones and Aircastles. Wait..I forgot the Silvertone wood Pee Wee. Fun to collect once the company history is clear/
