03, 2003 Hi, I have had in my
possession a console model of a Stromberg Carlson, built in 1927. It has 6
legs, 4 at the front. It is made of walnut, with 2 doors at the front. I also
have the work manual for the radio. It’s in pristine condition and the radio
has never been tampered with. It works perfectly. Do you have any info on the radio? Yours Truly Keith Hawkins------ e-mail keith.hawkins@sympatico.ca Friday, June 13,
2003 Did
Stromberg-Carlson ever have a contract for installing interoffice telephone
wires in Florida in the 1970's? I had
an old high school buddy who worked for this company down there in the summer
of 1974 and I was trying to verify this information. Any information you
could provide would be appreciated. Sincerely, Rusty Wilbur Friday, June 13,
2003 RobinAnnHicks@aol.com I had an unusual
occurrence happen the other day. A neighbor’s car went out of control and ran
into my garage damaging everything inside. One the items was a Stromberg
Carlson console, model # RP-781WO . I would be very grateful to you if
you have any information as to a value of this unit. If you could get back to
me as soon as possible I would appreciate it, the insurance adjuster wants to
settle quickly. Thank you so
much. Robin & Jamie Hicks Wednesday, June

[stracks@capital.net] Hi I found your
website and was surprised and pleased to find such an interest in Stromberg
Carlson equipment I have a
Stromberg Carlson Radio that I have had for over 30 years. It is a table top
model A Stromberg Carlson Radio Receiver 130-R is on the inside paper along
with patents and other info such as it was made in Rochester, NY Manufactured
by Stromberg Carlson Telephone Mfg. Co.
It has the electric eye and the wooden veneer case is fair shape Can
anyone provide any information on this radio or direct me to were I may
obtain some (information)? It still works and receives. It appears to be an
early model short wave as well as AM. I could provide a picture if that would
be helpful. I have no idea what the vintage and or value may be, and
inquiring if it would be worth refinishing the case as well. Thanks Francis Strack Lake Placid, NY Melissa J.
Mickey e-mail: zbgns1900@msn.com Hello, I am happy
to find your web page. About 1966 my folks bought a console stereo and
gave the Stromberg-Carlson to my uncle. When my folks died earlier this
year, I asked my aunt if she would trade for the console stereo. She
said yes. I go out to the garage just to run my hands over the wood. It is
beautiful. I would like to get it working again. It is a radio
receiver no.1409 PG "Hepplewhite". Any information
would be wonderful. Thank you. Melissa J.

Carlson Record Player Floor Model Hello I recently
found a Model SP-771WO Floor model record player. We are interested in
finding out its value its in working condition But we are not sure of the
Date of it I haven’t found any on it Could you please get back to me as soon
as possible Sir: In 1948-49
while living in California, I purchased a Stromberg-Carlson Television
Receiver No. TS-125-EM5. The dealer said there were only two of the
cabinets made. The cabinet is called "Chinese Classic".
The 45-rpm record changer works as well as the LP changer. The
radio works but not well, as I don't have it connected to an outside
antenna. The TV, I don't think works. If you could possible shed
any information or knowledge, I would greatly appreciate. I have spent
hours searching online to no avail. Thanks, James Brown I have a Stromberg Carlson console model
662 which I have had refinished. It is generally in fine condition but two
things are missing and hopefully someone out there may be able to help
me. The speaker is missing. I can see
by the opening on the supporting panel that it takes a 9" inch speaker
and over the years the knobs have been lost. I would like to replace the
missing features. Appreciate your help. Any idea when this model was
manufactured. It has been in the family since new. From: Robert
Toepfer [mailto:rtoepfer@nalu.net] I don't know if
this is the correct address but anyways- I have a Stromberg-Carlson triple
range megacycles radio receiver No. 130-R. If you have any info on it please
let me know. Oh, it also is on a speaker/table and is in good condition. They
both work. Thanks for any info. Re:
Stromberg-Carlson RF-480 Loudspeaker Dear Members of
the SC: Does anyone have the spec sheets on the
above speaker? I have one. I like to restore it to the original spec's. This
speaker has 41 lbs. ALNICO magnet. I
think that it is the largest magnet ever used in a speaker. Thanking in advance Wally Waldemar

Morning: I happened upon your website
and thought maybe you could give me some information. Several years ago I was given a Stromberg
Carlson Triple Range floor model radio.
It measures 12" x 38" x 24". It is model 130-L Issue 1. It also has about 50 patent numbers
listed on the label. It works real
good including the shortwave band.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe Glassmeyer Barbara L
Glassmeyer [jdglassmeyer@juno.com] Good
Evening: I happened upon your
messages on the internet and maybe you can give me some information. Back in 1974 a nice lady gave me a Stromberg
Carlson Radio. It is a floor model
which measures about 38" high, 24" wide, and 12" deep. It is Model 130-L Triple Range Issue 1.
The label has about 50 patent numbers on it.
My 3 yr old grand daughter can bring in the BBC on this radio better
than I can get local stations on my car radio here in Cincinnati. I'm not looking to sell it, but maybe I
should be taking better care of it.
Any information would be appreciated.

floor model Stromberg Carlson radio and it works, I'm sure it dates back to
the late30 or early 40. The case is made
from wood and it has two doors that when closed cover the dials and knobs. I do not know

surprise when I came across this site, is this the same Stromberg-Carlson
group that was based in Rochester, New York??? My husband and I worked at
S-C, Richard 30 yrs and myself 21. If this is the S-C we knew and loved,
there are many wonderful memories that we have over the years. Richard is
looking for a good combination receiver or transmitter unit manufactured in
1954. And used only in a handheld

info that we can get on this unit. Jeane Corbett Hi
What a surprise to see Stromberg on the net. I worked in
electronic Div. from 1949 till 1960.as supervisor of production Eng. Our div
was located on Carlson rd and moved to the former Bond plant in the 50's. It
was always a great place to work. I moved to Calif. to a new job in Oct
1960. I heard that the Electronic div folded in the late 60’s; did any part
of it move to a new location? Does the elec div have a reunion? If so where?
Enjoyed viewing your home page. Regards, Richard Bangs Roseville Ca,

Stromberg Carlson upright radio. It has a label on the back that says
Acoustic Labryith. Its about 4.5 feet tall and 3 feet wide. We had it
professionally refinished several years ago. We have enjoyed it but are
moving to a smaller home and need to sell it. Do you know about how much it
is worth? Thanks Jim Wednesday,
November 19, 2003 Hi, I'm a
librarian at a public library in Illinois.
A patron came in and she has some old records that were recorded on a
Stromberg-Carlson record player from the 1940s. She is trying to locate a place where she could play them, and
ideally have the records recorded on a cassette tape (the recordings were made
by her deceased husband and have sentimental value). Do you have any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated. Beth

[scoopsbern@hotmail.com] Hi, My father has a
Stromberg & Carlson Radio/Record Player it is Beautiful. The Radio
Receiver # is 1121-PG. I recently started to work on the radio because it was
not working and I thought that it was such a shame to let it sit there and
not try to fix it. Well I have got everything except one thing working on the
unit. I am having a real problem with the tuning wiring. If there is anyone
that could point me in the right direction on how to get a repair manual or
some kind of diagram on how to rewire all of the strings. Thanks, Scoops 6/10/2004 Hi, my name is

[wb2cqt@juno.com] Thursday, July
08, 2004 Hello from
NYC. I have RF-475 loudspeaker in
very good condition that is being used as center speaker in home theater
system. It is listed in a Terminal
audio catalog from 1952 as costing $179.95, also text states that Stemberg
originated coax construction with compression HF unit working thru center of
LF magnet, other companies take this credit also. Does anyone know who was
first with this? Does anyone have a more technical description better than
what is in the catalog? It states weight 45 lbs, I did not weigh it, but have
various other speakers (Altec604E) etc, and this RF-475 makes you think and
plan before picking it up. Other item here is Microphone model MD-57, would like
to know if they made this item in total, or is some parts like the transducer
made by another company. Have used
this also, but find it does not have wide range response, fine for PA use or
vocal. Thanks for any replies . Larry Lawrence H Fohr

September 03, 2004 Hi, I just
recently got a Stromberg-Carlson radio from my grandparent's basement.
My father said it hasn't been touched in over 40 years. It's not
in the best of shape, but to my surprise it still works! I couldn't
believe it, when we turned it on I felt like I was taken back to the 40's or
50's. It is a model 920-L, AM/short wave radio. Do you have any
idea as to its worth and when they were manufactured? Any info
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jaime jacurcio77@yahoo.com Sunday,

worth anything. Thanks. Ron Wilson. Monday, October

searching for some information on a record player I have. We are

tall with the record player on the left in a pull out drawer and the radio on
the right in a swing open door. The bottom has one door for storage and
the other has the speaker in it. If you could help me out with some

Carlson receiver… I have just acquired
one. It is number 1406 PL "WINDEMERE". Any info on this? Thanks January 11, 2009 Hello, I need your
help! I'm looking for a Stromberg Carlson labyrinth model radio I’m
not looking for the tall one; this one was about 2-3 high, 2-3 feet long, and
2 feet wide. It had ribs around its knobs, on top of a flat
surface with a magic eye. It had a serving tray on top that came off
like a coffee table (it may be called a coffee table model). My elderly
parents have had one for as long as I can remember. Before it was destroyed
in a fire they used it daily. I have been looking everywhere for a
replacement. If anyone has one for sale or knows of one please call or email
me. A collector told me, three
years ago, that me it didn't have a great value. I can't locate him to get
the model number info from the item. Having this radio would make my parents
and I happy. Thank you. Kory Pelt 143 West 116th

Townsend: As detailed
below in a letter to Mr. Richard Bangs, I'd appreciate help or leads in
attempting to do research & gather data for an upcoming article on
history of Stromberg-Carlson. We are concentrating on the vacuum tube audio
products, however will also detail general Company history. Any information
you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Roger Harding

<rgb007@surewest.net> Subject: The
History of Stromberg-Carlson 1945-1965 Hello Mr. Bangs: My name is Roger
Anderson. I'm an historian and a writer about the US Electronics Industry.
Currently I am doing research for an upcoming issue of "Vacuum Tube
Valley Magazine: The Classic Electronics Reference Journal". Their
website is: http://www.vacuumtube.com
My Google research has led me to you, and I under-stand that you were the
Supervisor of Production Engineering at Stromberg in Rochester from 1949 to
1960. This time period encompasses most of the era I will be writing about
approx. 1945 to 1965. I'd be most interested & grateful for your valuable
input on any aspects regarding the audio products of S-C during that period.
I'm attempting also to gather data in the form of product promotional
literature, schematic diagrams, service information, etc. I was lucky enough
to find a gentleman who lent me a large blue binder "Sound Engineers
Manual" which details service information on the Stromberg products up
through about 1955. I'm hoping to find something similar that covers 1955 up
through to the end of the vacuum tube products. Also seeking any promotional
brochures for the '45 to late 60s era. I can guarantee the safe return of any
items lent for research. With
permission, they can be copied & returned in about 2 weeks time. I'd particularly like to interview any
folks who had a direct hand in design, production and marketing at S-C. This
kind of personal input adds greatly to historical accounts, which can tend to
become focused solely on technical accomplishments. The "human" side
of the story, if you will, adds another dimension. Again, I'd be extremely
appreciative of any sort of help, or leads, that you can provide. I'd be most
happy to phone at a convenient time, or can correspond through email, or in
whatever fashion you might prefer to participate if you are interested in
assisting in this project. All contributions will be fully attributed and
acknowledged. My goal is to bring to light the many efforts and the hard work
of the many folks who were directly responsible for the excellent products
and reputation of Stromberg Carlson during those important years, many of
which devoted their entire careers to these endeavors. That story will now
finally be told. Best regards, Roger Harding

January 11, 2009 valiantlongs@comcast.net Hello there! Yesterday, I
took possession of a circa 1946 S/C Model #1120 from my father &
mother. They bought it used in 1963
for $50 and have been second owners ever since. Near as we can discern it hasn't worked in over 30 years and
was relegated to their basement. It
nearly became a liquor cabinet but I saved it because it was so in tact. It even had an inspection sticker hanging
from the tubes dated 3-4-46. Can
anyone tell me more about the units and how difficult it is to locate
parts? Value is secondary since I'm
restoring it for myself. Thanks! Tom Long Mechanicsburg,

your website while searching for information about the Stromberg Carlson
Model 1-A radio. I'm trying to determine if this 1924 radio was the

I'm in the process of restoring it for sale. I would like to acquire as much

attached saying it came from a museum in Arkansas. Regards, Lyndell Scott Audio Antiques 3/25/05 Hello, I was

17, 2005 Hello-- I
happened across a MONSTER pair of Stromberg monblocks; they use 4 6L6GC
outputs, have dual 5U4GB rectifiers, and use 4 6SJ7s. They weigh about
50 lbs each, have potted opt, power, and choke xformers. All coupling
caps are "bathtub" paper-in-oil tyoe, and primitive circuit boards
reminiscent of those in early McIntosh and HarmonKardon gear hold the
resistors. What have we got here? They play incredibly loudly... my
concern is that they have what may be an input transformer, like many theater
amps to operate at 600 ohms. This is all good, but I like as few
xformers in the signal path as possible (my Altec 256Cs had a 600 ohm input,
necessitating a output xformer on my preamp... sound smooth as silk but
rather veiled and lacking in detail) Any info GREATLY
appreciated! Thanks! Christopher

12:13 AM Hello Mr.
Townsend, I just
gave my 11 year old son Jesse an 8” tall x 7” wide x 8” deep old wooden box
with a crank sticking out the side and a pair of wires coming out the other
side, nicely wound around a special hook/horns. It has a leather-carrying
strap on top and a metal brace to set it on a stand perhaps. I’ve had it for
years and am not sure where I scrounged it. I just couldn’t throw away an oak
box with obvious radio gear inside. It looks telegraph related and he
opened it up, cleaned and oiled it etc. It cranks good now and you can see
the odd spark. Inside is
a dynamo type affair attached to the crank, and a bell that would be
activated by 2 electromagnetic coils (like a relay). Cast into the dynamo body
it says: “Stromberg Carlson Tel. Mfg. Co” Faintly
visible in large (~2 inch tall) capital letter and number on the (original)
red paint on the outside of the box it says “F 4” I looked
all over the internet to get a bit of info for him but it must be a bit too
old or not unique enough. Then I found your site and email. If we can
bother you, would you know what it is?? Would it be domestic or military
(Jesse collects WWII stuff so that would make it a big thrill) Sincerely, Eric van
Steenis, vansteenis@shaw.ca Fri 6/24/2005
5:27 PM Hi.I have
questions about a Stromberg Carlson Chinese classic TV cabinet in classic
ivory. It was purchased in (i think) 1954. I was 12 years old at
the time. Unfortunately the tube was damaged, and my father
couldn’t get it repaired. My father had a master carpenter remove the
TV, add lighting, and build sliding drawers to convert the cabinet into
a lighted bar. The cabinet is in mint condition. Could
anyone tell me what this might be worth? My uncle was a radio and TV
enthusiast. He had one of the original Spartan blue lady art deco
radios, which he sold for an amazing price, before he passed
away. This is the last collectable piece left in my family
and i would like to know what it's worth. Any info would be
appreciated. E-MAIL.........SAMRENYP@PULSENET.COM Wed 6/22/2005
7:12 PM Hi, I was visiting a
used bookshop in Philadelphia and saw a dusty old tube amp sitting in a
corner. When I asked about it, the owner of the shop offered it to me for
free. Naturally, being a fan of tube gear, I happily took it. What have I got
here? The unit is labeled as a Stromberg-Carlson Custom Four Hundred. It also
says "Model
100976 Amplifier." On the side is
stamped 777 Series 102. It looks like
an integrated amp. It uses two 6L6G valves, two 12AU7 valves, one 6X4 valve,
and one 5Y3GT/G. It has a single RCA
input, so I'm assuming its mono. Cheers all, Jake Friday, August

seeking information on a Stromberg Carlson cabinet radio (920-L) which I

It is in good shape, seems to work fine. I have done searches
repeatedly on the internet and can't find anything on this particular
model. I would like to find out when it was manufactured, and details
on that model, and maybe what it is worth (did I get a good deal or very much
overpay?). Any idea

a carlson/stromberg record player (78/33) an d radio w. glass tubes in a
beautiful mahogany oriental style cabinet with heavy ornate carvings on the
area surrounding the round wood knobs. The radio -w. glass tubes- still
works and needs, I think, adjusting, and cleaning. The record player
also turns and appears to drop (as it would records) but needs a needle and
putting back together. The cabinet is outstanding. and is in good shape
save a few scratches. Can anyone give me any idea on age, value, buyer,
or repairer of the item? Please reply to

following on your Stromberg-Carlson bulletin board... I own a Stromberg-Carlson
RF-475 15" coaxial speaker that I bought new in the late 1950's. It is
in mint condition and has been well-kept indoors. It's driven by over 50lbs
of Alnico V magnet with a dual voice coil, and weighs at least 70lbs. It was,
at the time, the Rolls-Royce of speakers for auditoriums, theaters, chapels,
and large home installations. With the largest magnet ever put into a
speaker, it runs on 40watts and 16ohms, at full, and I mean FULL, volume --
very, very efficient. It's housed in a solid custom-built bass-reflex
cabinet, which is not fine furniture, but is quite presentable. I can send
you a couple of photos by email, if you like. Some specs:
Seamless Cardinal Cone with phenolic diaphragm driver and parallel gap
3" aluminum voice coil. HF unit is a parametric horn with 5"
acoustic lens. LF cone rim is fabric, not paper. Uniform 90degree
distribution angle. Diam: 15 3/16", Depth: 10 1/2". Requires 13

Stromberg-Carlson TV consol gutted. I
know its maker through my grandmother.
It was in her childhood home.
The insides are
gone but the outside cabinet is in pretty good shape. Not excellent as there are some scratches
and the door had to be repaired by the hinge. The wood is a very pretty color and all the hardware for the
doors is still secure. I hate to just
trash it but I have no use for it so I am looking for a home. I am planning to
put it out at a yard sale next Saturday and if it doesn’t sell I may get my
husband to make a table out of the wood because it is so pretty, if you or
anyone you know may be interested in it please contact me ASAP. I live in Regards, Saturday,

shortwave antenna but there are only three. The phonograph
seems to have the most problems. I definitely need to replace the two drive
wheels and plan on replacing all power cords. Can you point be to a good source
of parts? Regarding the replacement of power cords, would you upgrade to

of each of the Stromberg Carlson AP-55/AP-56. I'm going to rebuild

amplifiers. I would like to know a little of the history of these
amps. Doing a Google search you will find the shrine. After
reading what I could on the amp, it seems that the output transformer
needs to be replaced with a custom wound transformer to improve the bass. Any
recommendations you can give me; or if anyone is still active that has
accomplished a rebuild can email Dave at dlachappell@comcast.net.
I would sincerely appreciate any help or recommendations as to the extent
these amps should be modified, to achieve the greatest frequency response.

I recently purchased a 642a that is all there .The cabinet needs refinishing
and the radio turns on. There is only one large tube that can be viewed and
everything else seems to be under covers. The large tube glows after awhile
and if the tuner is turned some weak sounds come from the speaker. In the
back of the unit I was told that there is a plug for an exterior antenna in
the back of the unit, which I have seen, but there does not seem to be any
other antenna. I really hope to get the unit running. I always remember as a
child listening to my parents’ radio. If anyone can give me information as to the age
of the radio or about anything else including antenna information i would
greatly appreciate it. Voghel, Thomas

16, 2007 Hello, Could you direct
me to any web sites that would have information on a Stromberg Carlson
"Harmonic Converter" It appears to be
a telegraphic device with a tuned (10 cycles/sec) resonator with a large
transformer and connections to a battery, key and line. It is in an oak
cabinet with a glass cover to observe the mechanism that is mounted on a
slate slab. It was
manufactured in Rochester NY, I would guess about 1900. I have scanned
the web (eBay, wikipedia and telegraphic history sites) for info
but have come up with nothing specific on the device. Thank You, John

January 05, 2008 Hello everyone! I inherited a
Stromberg-Carlson stereo console Model SP-741M from my grandmother in 1998. I'm in a position now where I can restore
it, but would like some documentation.
Does anyone have any usable service data I could obtain for copying
fees? This unit is in
good condition except for a large scratch across the top, and I fear the
cartridge or stylus is probably shot, too.
Any information is appreciated!
Thanks in advance. Michael Michael Hood

My Mother has a Stromberg Carlson combination record player radio. It is a
model 863 0.65 amps 117 line watts 25-60
cycles serial #8630812. It is a console model and is not in
bad shape. I was wondering where I could find out some info (such as what year)
and what it could possibly be worth as she is moving into a suite. Thanks for
your time and trouble. Barrie

25, 2008 My wife and I
have a Stromberg-Carlson record player and stereo Model
RP-761 WO. It looks to be from the 1960's. The body
is in excellent shape but the turntable spins
a little noisily and the radio does not seem to be
getting power. We love it as a piece of furniture but do
not necessarily have room in the house and we
would prefer to be able to play our lp's on it. We are
trying to determine its value should we decide to sell
it. I would appreciate hearing from anyone
knowledgeable on this subject. Best, Keith Keith Levene [keithlevene@yahoo.com]

Hello,
in my search for
info on Strombergs, I ran across your site. I own 3 Strombergs and 1 Masco
ME-36 right now. The Strombergs are; AU-57, AU-33, and SAU-33. I have
Sam's photo facts for the Au-57 and 33, but not for the SAU-33. Do you know
anyone who can locate it for me? I would certainly expect to pay for it.
Electronic or hard copy would be fine.
Also, is there any
info you are interested in about these amps? I would be glad to send it along
if I have it.
Thank you, jerry

I told my dad I
would help him find out what I could about this Stromberg Carlson. He got it
from his mother (my grandmother), who used to deal a fair amount of antiques. I
believe he said it came as part of an estate she got some items from. It is in
great shape and works good. The radio sounds great. How old do you think it is?
What would something like this be worth?

Hi,
My fiancé rehabs
old houses and recently found a Stromberg Carlson floor model record
player/radio. It is all solid wood, the record player/turntable is inside of a
drawer on the left side of the console and the radio, tuner and speaker are on
the right side. It is in beautiful shape. Taped in the back (inside) was an
original envelope with little stickers and they say "call Letters". I
can't find much info on this beautiful antique. I would tell you the model
number, but cannot find it. Do you know where I could find it? Or maybe you
know the approximate age of the record player. I would love to know, the age,
value and where I could get parts if needed. I could not see myself ever
parting with it, but I would like to keep it in the shape its in to pass on to
my son someday. Thanks for any help you can give us.

Hi, my church has Stromberg-Carlson Model
BK42 sound equipment installed to ring the bells, it is currently not
functioning, and has not in a number of years, no one is sure why it is not
functioning whether it is broken or was turned off, we have heard that it may
have been turned off due to the neighborhoods complaints of the bells ringing
on Sunday mornings. Anyway no one knows how to operate it and we cannot find an
operating manual, would you know where we could find the operating instructions
for this equipment.
Thanks

I have what we
think is a small switchboard/desk with Stromberg Carlson label on back.
It is mahogany with a drop down door on front and a pull out writing
shelf. There are 15 round holes in back and 4 on bottom presumably to
connect phone extensions, etc. for possible a small office or hotel.
Anyone know anything about these and what they are worth, please contact me at

The Wood Cabinet in very good condition the Radio works and the Phonograph works but needs some fine-tuning.

I live on Long Island New York, can anyone tell me anything about this model and it's value.
Any information will be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi,
I just purchased a 1930 Stromberg Carlson floor radio. It "works" except that we cannot get any radio stations to come in. We have grounded it, but do not know what type of antenna it requires. Any information would be appreciated!

Stromberg-Carlson Radio Receiver 952PP
I just today acquired the cabinet only which displays inside a paper sheet showing the information as above. It seems it is made in 1939 or 1940 by Stromberg-Carlson Telephone Mfg. Co. Limited, Toronto, Ontario. I have been on the www.audiophool.cjb.net/MadeInRoch.html website and there is a wealth of information there - thank you. The model "952P" is noted as being Canadian, however there is no "952PP" model noted on that site.
I am a "baby" senior but have never heard of a "Radio Receiver". I have a small collection of antique radios, victrolas and sewing machines and would like to hear from someone who can tell me what a radio receiver is/does. The cabinet is a floor model 18" wide, 14.5" deep and 31" high. The top part is 2" deep with a non-functioning handle at the front and the top lifts up to reveal cutouts and screw holes. The second compartment has a drop-down front with a centered handle same as the top part and is 9.5" deep. There are four large holes equidistant from the corners and the right side has an additional four holes in the center of the 2 corner holes.
I am very interested in knowing what the inside of this cabinet originally looked like and contained and hope someone has some information for me.
Thank you. laura.pratt@sympatico.ca

Hello.
I recently found your website when looking up info about a Stromberg-Carlson I
just picked up for free.
It is a model FR-503, record player, AM/FM, Aux in, with two large speakers,
all built in. I have never owned or used a turntable before, but have a basic
understanding of how stereos and records work.
I was wondering if you could give me a bit of help, or point me in the correct
direction:
First off, the turntable will not spin very fast, no matter the setting.
Second, I can get a bit of sound with the record spinning slowly, but no sound
coming from either band of radio. I am going to try a newer antenna for
that.
Also, I have no plans to sell, but what do you think the approx. value would
be?
Thank you for your help.

Mr. Townsend:
I'm writing to update contact information from my post from some time back regarding research on the history of the Stromberg-Carlson Special Products Division (audio products).
The project is ongoing, and I would especially like to hear from anyone connected with the S-C company audio division in Rochester, circa 1945-1965. I've thus far been unsuccessful in making contact with Mr. Richard Bangs who had posted here quite some time ago, and was a manager at S-C in the Fifties, and whom I believe may now be living in AZ or CA. My new contact info is as follows:
