Does anyone in the Phorum have radio(s) branded Rextron, Gaylord, or Syncratone?  All are 1930's Chicago builds.  I am looking for images of the units.  Thanks in advance!

Joe, If you look on Michael Feldt's Antique Radio Tuning Dials Gallery, dial #72 is a Syncratone from 1937.  Not what you're looking for but maybe he has access to the radio he got the dial image from?
Cheers,
Bob

Many thanks , Bob.  I have seen this image, in fact Mike permitted me to use it in an article I've written on the Plant A radios.  I just have to figure out what's the best way to get it out for folks to see.  I'll keep hunting!  Joe
