View Full Version : DuStrombMan CarlsMontChu on eBay Eric H 09-13-2010, 10:37 PM Nice Stromberg Carlson with a Dumont chassis and Manchu cabinet on the Bay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Stromberg-Carlson-1948-Television-Radio-Rec-Phono-RARE-/370431768689?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item563f743871 Tom Albrecht 09-14-2010, 12:05 AM What's that knob above the radio dial? Seems like somewhat of an odd placement. Fortunately this one's plenty far enough away from me... Eric H 09-14-2010, 12:36 AM Looking at the back it seems to be a switch to select running either the Radio or TV through the Amplifier? Phil Nelson 09-14-2010, 12:51 AM What's that knob above the radio dial? I wondered that, too. Mode switch for TV/radio/phono? The cage behind it is labeled Television and Radio. Interesting that they included a separate FM radio. If it has an Inputuner like my RA-103, that could have enabled integral FM. Maybe they just plopped in an existing AM/FM radio chassis. Is that an eye tube behind the radio chassis? Maybe someone pulled it loose and forgot where it went . . . .

On my Scott 800-B combo, you can play TV audio either through the 5" TV speaker or the radio's audio section with 15" coax speaker. Guess which sounds better :) Phil kx250rider 09-14-2010, 12:56 PM I had that model... the switch is power ON/OFF/RADIO/TV.

Bill Cahill RitchieMars 09-14-2010, 05:28 PM Hope you win it, Bill! That's a beautiful cabinet and it looks like it has loads of potential. I'm surprised to see such a fine set this far south! Bill Cahill 09-14-2010, 05:45 PM Thanks! I haven't been this excited about something in quite awhile! Hope I get it. I love it! Bill Cahill ChrisW6ATV 09-18-2010, 02:03 PM Go for it, Bill. I would love to have that set, except for having no room and the 3000+ mile issue. bandersen 09-18-2010, 10:35 PM Looks like nobody bid on it :( Bill Cahill 09-18-2010, 10:52 PM I've been in touch with him. He wasn't going to take minimum bid. He wanted 200.00 for it. I offered a trade, I sent pictures. He refused trade. Today, he canceled auction. Now he tells me he will call me back in a week.He's moving. I'll let you know what happens. Bill Cahill |
