I emailed them and got some pics (big files) mostly to make sure the age was correct and it wasn't, say, a color roundie. '57 sounds right; has chewed up legs. 21" bw console. If anyone wants the pics emailed to them drop me a line.

Listed as 19". Maybe the CRT shrunk. Very economy set. Huge photos. More than I want to try to resize.

Maybe one of those later replacement 19V**P22 tubes installed...?

Or he just went across the screen with a tape measure.

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.

Bob:

I hope you can get the Stromberg. I think that the little door on the top right side held a 45 rpm record changer.

I put in a bid on the RCA after seeing a link in the Early Color forum, but I will be happy to make note of any good East Coast deals I see, thanks.

The 19" will match the diagonal measurement of the lit area of a 21" round color CRT, I am pretty sure. That became the official FTC way to measure and describe TV sizes in the late 1960's or 1970's, I think.

HOpe someone can save this one. It's only $30, and looks real nice.
