And now a Coronado

[Eric H]

I picked up this small 1948 Coronado floor model today.

This uses the RCA 721 chassis, slightly modified, the channel plate starts at channel 2 but there are about 5 or 6 clicks between 2 and 13 with a blank space on the dial so I don't know if the tuner is actually a channel 1 or not?

Good CRT, shorted filter caps I think because powering it up through a bulb shows too much draw and a hot 5U4.

The picture makes it look like the veneer is loose on top, it's not but it does need refinished.

So who was Coronado?
