| Comments: | In very good condition and solid feeling despite its size. The lack of ID number is a pain to anyone collecting this radio. This was the fourth in a series of radios bearing the name "Troubadour"; the U626, U696 and the identical chassis model U6961 (from September 1953). Trader sheet 1151. | |
