Coronado 953A (1939?)
(wood tube table radio)

Coronado 953A (1939?)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This farm radio was designed electrically along the lines of the portables of the day, and originally operated from dry-cell batteries. Then when the "high wire" came along circa 1948, someone installed a Perma-Power power pack to convert it to AC. Mechanically however, it goes beyond the portable style, with a larger speaker, table-top wooden cabinet and pushbutton tuning. Unlike a portable, it has no built-in antenna. Broadcast band only. Coronado was a brand of the Gamble-Skogmo Co. of Minneapolis, that used to operate a chain of stores in rural areas. The knobs don't match. There is some hum, partly from vibration in the power pack. 17"W x 15"H x 12"D.
