  • Brand: Truetone
  • Condition: This radio is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. This is a very rare radio manufactured during World War 2 as a patriotic symbol with it's V shaped speaker grille standing for victory, hence the name "Victory". Only a handful of examples have come up for sale over the last decade or so. This radio will need to be gone through and repaired before use. It currently has no cord so I was not able to plug it in and see if it was working. The clear plastic over the tuning indicator shows fading and a crack. The cloth over the speaker is present but does show it's age. The leatherette skin over the radio is in decent shape, it shows some bubbling in spots, tears, and a few missing sections. Please view photos closely before purchasing to fully judge this item. This radio is being sold 100% AS-IS with no returns or refunds. This would make a great addition to your collection.
