Adler Royal Radio Console
This is another radio I picked up this week.
It's a Adler Royal console. From the early 1930's. This company made battery sets in the 1920's. Not much else is available on the company. The radio has 8 tubes: 2 x 47, 2 x 56, 3 x 58, and 1 x 80. I took the speaker out when transporting the radio. The chassis says Stromberg Carlson. I wonder where the knobs came from? The radio was going to be given to charity but I took it.

That cabinet would have originally had tall legs and a stretcher between them. Somebody "modernized" it at one point. Pictures of other sets from around 1929-30 would give an idea of what it looked like. The knobs are obviously not original: maybe the kid that "modernized" it put them on.

Maybe the knobs ARE original, just have deteriorated w/time...I've seen 'em do similar stuff like that. Those early plastics were anything but stable... Nice score ! This one MIGHT be old enuff to originally have had "Balloon" tubes in it...
