Stromberg-Carlson Model R-503

[jbrainey]

I pulled this from a cabinet that someone had retrofitted it into about 15 years ago and I have had it wrapped in plastic stuck in the back of a closet every since. They had it mounted verticaly along side a more modern BSR automatic turntable. The face plate was in such great shape I didnt want it to go to the dump. It worked back then,including the tuning eye but I am afraid to even plug it in now because I dont want to fry anything. Is it a collectable or is it just taking up space in the back of my closet? I dont collect or even own any more tube or antique gear and I have little use for it. I am not offering it up for sale or trade,at least not yet,I just want to know a little about it. If you need or want any more pictures just ask.
