Stromburg Radio
6/18/1998 10:58:57 AMDon Black
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me with any information on a Stromburg
radio( note spelling - Stromburg, BURG, not Stromberg Carlson).
Its a large round top cathedral TRF of early 30's vintage. The tubes are 80, 47,
57, 58, 58.
There is a two gang tuning capacitor, the aerial feeds straight into the first
58 grid with no pretuning then through a tuned circuit to the second 58 and
a second tuned circuit to the 57 biased detector. It has a 5 inch
electrodynamic speaker and seems to perform well. The name
"Stromburg" is engraved in a curved brass plate above the arched dial
opening. A moving dial lamp is mounted on the tuning shaft to move
around the dial as it is tuned. I think it was made in New York. It is well
made but not of an expensive construction. There is a central tuning
control, and a tone control and a combined volume control-on/off switch
on either side.
If anyone has any knowlege of the set or company I would be pleased to
receive all information possible.
Thanks, Don.
