  There are 3 known versions of the truetone D-711 model:

  Model	Riders Schematic	Number of Tubes	Manufacturer
  D-711	Volume 10, Pages 10-25, 10-36, 10-37	7	Wells Gardner
  D-711 Dial    Type 1	Volume 12, Page 12-13	8	Detrola
  D-711 Dial   Type 2	Volume 12, Page 12-13	8	Detrola

  The 8 tube models use the same cabinet and chassis but have different dials, one being a red color and the other being a multi-color dial.

  The catalog "1939 Truetone Radios" from "Western Auto Stores" shows a model as "Supreme" (see picture) with the multi-color dial. It is unclear if the red dial version is also known as a "Supreme" model.
