I pulled this from a cabinet that someone had retrofitted it into about 15 years ago and I have had it wrapped in plastic stuck in the back of a closet every since. They had it mounted verticaly along side a more modern BSR automatic turntable. The face plate was in such great shape I didnt want it to go to the dump. It worked back then,including the tuning eye but I am afraid to even plug it in now because I dont want to fry anything. Is it a collectable or is it just taking up space in the back of my closet? I dont collect or even own any more tube or antique gear and I have little use for it. I am not offering it up for sale or trade,at least not yet,I just want to know a little about it. If you need or want any more pictures just ask.:scratch2:

Looks like a nice set to me...S/C was a pretty highly regarded mfger back in the day...

Stromberg Carlson FR-503 used the SR-407 receiver. The Sams folder is on my Made in Rochester (http://www.audiophool.cjb.net/MadeInRoch.html) page - it's dated 1957.

It probably needs some capacitors replaced if you want it to run reliably for another 50 years... The electrolytic can cap and various small coupling caps.
