[NostalgiaRadioTime]

Happiness is: hearing sweet music playing from the speaker of my great-grandparents' 1940 Coronado console radio from which no sound has been heard since the late 1980's! This was the first antique radio I ever owned; I've had it since 1981. I can remember as a small boy in the early 70's visiting my great-grandparents and going up to this radio when I wasn't even tall enough to reach the knobs! Now I have my iPod hooked up to the phono jack on it, so I can listen to whatever music I want through its amplifier & speaker! Will post some pics when the restoration is complete. My heartfelt gratitude to Art Hoch for his kindness in scanning and e-mailing the schematic for this radio from the Rider's Manual. This unit doesn't use the standard variable capacitor for tuning, but rather those troublesome shafts that move in and out of coil sleeves. I wish great-grandpa would've picked a Philco when he was radio shopping in 1940!
