  • Notes

  • The "B" model of the Truetone D-911 has some tube changes from the original model.  The 6D6 changed to 6K7G and the 41's changed to 6N6G's.  The chassis was made by Detrola and their chassis number 314 is accurate except it shows additional circuitry for a phonograph player.

    Earlier model is the Truetone Supreme D-911.

    Some additional differences include:
