Truetone D-723 "Tulip" AM/SW1/SW2 Vintage Table Radio 1937 ..Gorgeous Condition!
This rare and very impressive radio is seldom seen or offered for sale. Manufactured by Detrola for the Western Auto "Truetone" brand. With seven tubes, it receives the Broadcast band (550 to 1650 KC) and Short Wave in two bands from 1.65 to 16 MC. Features an 8" Rola speaker for great sound, and a brightly illuminated multicolor dial for night use.
This radio was affectionately nicknamed "The Tulip" by collectors because of the beautifully conceived speaker cutout. The set has had a complete electronics tune-up, with all new capacitors, tubes and resistors checked and replaced as needed. It performs very well on all 3 bands using a 10-ft wire antenna. (Included)
The cabinet has been professionally restored using the same type nitrocellulose lacquer as originally used. There are no veneer patches, and the waterfall front is absolutely stunning. Knobs, dial, escutcheon (with glass dial cover) are all original. It displays beautifully and will be a highlight of any collection.
Few radios from this Art Deco era have such beautiful waterfall fronts or grill cutouts as this Truetone, lovingly called the "Tulip." With its multicolored stationized backlit dial, AM broadcast and two shortwave bands, reception is just superb and the sounds and tonal quality that emanate from its huge 8" speaker will quite simply amaze you!
Truetone, a Western Auto Store brand, typically purchased radios from various quality manufacturers and Detrola produced this D-723. Dimensions: 20"W x 11"H x 9"D
