Time to put my love of Philco's aside for a bit and tackle a couple of radios for sentimental value instead. I have my great-grandparents' pre-1941 Coronado C 800 console to get up and running again (anyone know exactly what year that's from based on the model #?). That was actually the very first antique radio I ever received, way back in 1981. It stopped working about 20 years ago and has been sitting in the basement since. Then I have my grandparents' 1942 Zenith 7-S-633 table model to get playing. Not sure which I'll tackle first. Both were purchased new, so they have been in the family for over 70 years.
