Stromberg in Grand Rapids

I will be going to see the Stromberg Carlson in Grand Rapids the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I already spoke to the owner and he said the back is missing but the innerds look to all be there. Hope so, looks like a nice set.

UPDATE: I picked up the Stromberg Carlson today. WHAT A MONSTER! It a 19AP4 crt set. 2 chassis (main and power supply) Control panel is concealed under a small lift up cover (similar to the way a piano keyboard is covered) The strange part is that some of the knobs on the control panel use a speedometer cable flexible shaft system that extends the knobs on the control panel down to the acutal control which are located ont he chassis in the bottom of the set.

The set is still in the van and I won't be able to get photos until Monday. I will post the pictures on Monday.

There is no tube placement chart pasted inside the cabinet, and the back is missing. So if anyone has an idea of what the model number is, please clue me in. There are some numbers stamped in the chassis but I cant read them until the set is removed from my van on Monday. Perhaps that will give me a clue.


I also picked up the 21" 1956 Admiral color set in Detroit today too.
