Old Belmont table radio from 1941
I went back to the lady that sold me the Crosley clock radio on sunday. She emailed me and asked if I want some speakers. I said I'd come get them, since she said I could have them. Some HUGE speakers with no name on them.
I was loading them into my truck and she came out and asked if I wanted an old radio, and handed me this. It was dirty, but after I wiped it down, it's half decent. The power cord is a mess, and I doubt I would plug it in anyway. I will get a little more precise with cleaning it eventually. Its a Belmont Coronado , Model C640 I believe. Or I've been told.

Cool enough to be restore worthy!

It looks like a rabbit with its ears back.

Wow, that Belmont is a keeper. Personally I'd leave that finish as is, it has a beautiful patina. And I hope you gave that nice lady a little hug.

She also gave me some old speakers. She asked if I wanted them before she took them to Goodwill. I took them. I thought they were just some old junk speakers. I had not seen the cabinet style before.
Turns out they are very nice vintage speakers. Knight KN-812 coax 3 way drivers in Karlson cabinets. After I cleaned them up, I put them in my den. They are truly wonderful speakers. I understand quite desirable in some circles. English made and seldom seen. The drivers look mint. Very musical, and without any colorization of the source. |
