Coronado 686
5/24/2012 8:08:34 PMTim
Hi all.
I have just acquired a very nice Coronado (Gamble-Skogmo) model 686. I am in the process of cleaning it up, re-capping, etc. The radio is in very good shape with the exception of the small (I will call it fine tuning) dial face. It is missing; about 5/8" diameter, in the actual dial face. The main dial face is in good shape. My quesion is this...does anyone have a good photo/scan etc. of this small dial? I know I will have to reconstruct it somehow, but I have no idea what the original looked like. I have checked out many pictures of this radio on the web, but none have a clear view of this small dial face. I know Coronados aren't the best radios to collect, but this one, in the shape it is, was to hard to pass up! Thanks, Tim
