I know that I can count on the great supporters of Nostalgia Air to help me identify this one.

I just picked up a beast of a Stromberg Carlson.

It is a floor model. The person I got it from said it may be 1940s vintage. It has a speaker in it that is enclosed with a big label on the back "Acoustical Labyrinth"

Does this mean anything to anyone? I am trying to ID the chassis. I will post the tube line at some point.

I could email a few pictures to anyone interested in helping.

Thanks in advance.

You have good taste in radios, my man! The Acoustic Labyrnth came out in the late 30's on S-C. I myself have a working 1941 Stromberg Carlson 530-PL, an AM/police band/shortwave-phonograph console that I listen to a couple hours each week. It has the Acoustic Labyrynth system, which I understand is the great-grandfather of the Bose Wave sound system. Is there a card with patent data and the like stapled to the inside of the cabinet somehere? Typically, that card will have a model number on it. There may be a sticker on the chassis giving the model number. Does the radio have a magic eye tube?

No magic eye, but it has some sort of tuning indicator, looks like a some sort of a small meter.

There is no model number sticker anywhere. There was a sticker but only the corner remains.

It has 9 tubes but I haven't got the line up yet.

Correction, it has 12 tubes and I have identified it as a model 84B.

I am looking forward to tackling this one.

The tuning meter is broken but I think I have most of the pieces. Shold be interesting fixing it.

The Acoustic Labyrnth is kind of like a horn folded up (like a bugle as compared to a trumpet, labyrnth meaning maze), a way of putting a big box in a little box. Should give you a great! sound.
