Stromberg Carlson 24RP

[Marlin Mackley]

Well, hello again chaps and chapettes. I have a terrible work schedule going right now but I had to take a mo to submit my lattest, and last if I don't clean house somehow, acqusition. This Stromberg Carlson 24 RP is the biggest set I have ever seen (haven't been to Steve's museum yet) and I have to say I am very impressed with the construction. The knobs are all cast metal with the markings cast in, and the AM/FM (top) and tv (bottom) vernier tuners are THREADED and have to be screwed on and locked in place with lock nuts! I had trouble finding the off/on switch till I put the back on, it is in the rear on the right edge as viewed from the front. BIG power switch. It is complete, has been stripped , and the crt is supposed to be bad although I have not checked it yet. It was cheap cause of the crt. Maybe, after I catch up with work and get several other tv projects done I will recap this monster and see what the crt can do. Might be a job for Hawkeye, we will see.
