Occasionally, on eBay, there appears a
radio that can only be described as an odd-bird - this is one such
example.
The dial says 'Coronado' (as does the label inside the set) and yet the service data says that this radio was a made-to-order set for the Gamble-Skogmo retail group of companies.
It is a fairly plain type of set that in a black cloth covering. My example is missing the wooden battery reatining bar.
