Well here it is, all back together and playing sweetly:
The small cabinet with it's beautiful burled wood, rippled trim and black accents are what really drew me to this radio, along with the neat dial featuring two pinwheels that rotate when you turn the volume and tone controls:
Here's the back showing the 32 volt vibrator power supply in the metal cylinder (it was originally suspended under the chassis shelf with some kind of rubber straps but that being long gone, and with no picture of what it originally looked like, I improvised with zip ties). You can also see the "black box", the power supply I built to convert the 120V AC to 32V DC mounted on the bottom side of the chassis shelf:
Once again my thanks to all....especially Terry....for helping me revive this 1935 Coronado that, judging by the thickness of the dust completely covering the tuning capacitor, hadn't been played in at least 60 years.
