I bought this cute Truetone radio off E-bay. From the description given, and the picture, I thought perhaps this radio was made out of plaskon. When I received it, I was surprised to find that it is a hard, brittle plastic. This is the sort of plastic that is usually cracked, and this Truetone does not have any cracks. The only defect in the case is a small chip near one of the screw holes on the bottom. I like this radio more and more, every time I look at it! I have been trying to accumulate more of these "hard plastic" radios, but they are hard to find.

The radio description said that the cord was cut, so the working condition was unknown. I pulled the chassis when I received it, and was surprised to see that all the connections to the big multi-sectioned electrolytic capacitor had been cut. The cap is still there, just not attached. There is no replacement. Obviously, this is why the radio didn't work! I'll have to order replacement caps, and recap the radio. Then it will need a new cord. Hopefully, that will be all that is needed to bring this beauty back to life!

The label is missing off this radio, so I have no idea what the model number is. If anyone can identify this one, please e-mail me!
