This past spring I was taking a load of scrap metal to the yard and while unloading I spotted this radio in a freshly dropped load. I threw it in the truck and claimed it as my own (weight exchange, not theft). It was used in the Fleetliner, Fleetline, and the Sylemaster models between 1942 and 1948. It was culled from my collection today, and in better hands now.

Thanks trunkman, appreciate it. I saved a cool trunk from neighbors trash years ago and it's still up in my attic. : )
