Coronado 43-8190 "Racetrack" (1947)
(Plaskon tube portable radio)

Coronado 43-8190 "Racetrack" (1947)

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

An ivory Plaskon Coronado "Racetrack" portable from 1947 in excellent condition. Coronado was a house brand sold by Gamble-Skogmo department stores, headquartered in St. Louis Park, MN. Gamble-Skogmo contracted with several other radio manufacturers such as Belmont and Wells-Gardner to furnish radios bearing their name. The radio is working fine and playing clearly, receiving all my AM stations. This is a highly collectable radio in a Plaskon case and blue Polystyrene knobs, racetrack dial and handle. The trim is often mistaken for Catalin. The cases came in ivory Plaskon and ivory painted versions. The Plaskon case is extremely hard to find without any damage. There is an orange button in the center which lights up when the radio is on. It has its label on the bottom, and also has its original back, usually always missing. Very small portable at 9"W x 7-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D.
