The house I grew up in backed up to a woods. At the other side (probably a mile away) there was an old junk pile and on top of it set a Firestone TV almost identical to this one. If it wasn't for the weight I'd have carried it home. I would assume the crt was toast (not broken, but why else would it get tossed?) Who knows, that crt might still be good! Anyway, this has more character than another RCA or Philco.
I know of one Western Auto store, an hour away, which still sells televisions-or at least did the last time I stopped in about 10 years ago. No, nothing Truetone anymore. I should probably stop in and see if they have any old stock in the back.
Funny how tire stores would be in the radio business. I have radios sold by Goodyear, BFGoodrich, Pure Oil...I have some very old tubes with test stickers from Pep Boys. (twenties/thirties)
