THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! A ONE-DAY WONDER!

There actually were several Coronado model 740's, each with a different cabinet and some with only six tubes. This seven-tube set uses a chassis made by Belmont for Coronado. But what a chassis it is! It has two 6F6 output tubes in push-pull, and a 6C5 phase inverter ahead of it. With its large 8-inch diameter speaker, this set offers about 10-11 watts of output for console sound in a table model. It has lots of volume and is amazingly sensitive with just its attached long wire antenna. I was getting an amazing amount of stations in this usually barren area. The chassis has been totally recapped, out of tolerance resistors replaced, tubes tested strong, controls cleaned & lubricated. It features a beautiful large oval sidelit glass dial that really pops in a dark room. The cabinet was stripped & refinished using spray toners topped with a light coat of clear enamel for durability. New exact pattern grille cloth and original wood knobs. 21"W x 12"H x 9"D.
