- Notes
-
The Wizard D-2205 was built for Western Auto by Olympic Radio and Television, circa 1952, and is identical to the Western Auto Truetone D-2205. It is the only known Western Auto radio carrying the Wizard brand, and was only marketed as such for a short period. The Wizard brand was used extensively for their gardening and machinery product lines. Western Auto did market vacuum tubes under the Wizard brand several decades earlier.
