1948 TrueTone D-2626 Short Wave 6 Tube Radio Wood Cabinet Western Auto Works

Description: This rare, vintage Truetone D-2626 short wave broadcast radio was made in the United States in 1948. The radio has a beautiful wood cabinet in used condition with typical scuffs and marks. The four wood or wood styled knobs are complete and operating, and the original cord is in great shape. Occasionally, while messing with the volume or moving the radio while it's on, it has a strong but temporary whistle that comes out. The face looks good, as does one label; one label isstained. The short wave broadcast radio is composed of 6 tubes. I was able to tune in the Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball game with ease. It produces a strong sound. I noticed that the volume dial turned up the volume gradually but not so much when turning down. The volume may be quite high upon turning it on. Sadly, as with many of these radios, there is no back cover. It was originally sold at Western Auto Works. This radio is perfect for collectors who appreciate classic electronics from the 1930s to the 1940s. It appears in fairly good working order and has been tested for power, tuning capabilities, and knob operations.
