This is a rare Stromberg Carlson 24" metal tube combination radio-tv-phonograph.
It's on ebay. Cabinet looks gorgeous. Dealer said dut to picture tube being weak, reccommends making it into a fixh tank.  Please save this rare beauty! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1950s-STROMB...item564b3ea677 Bill Cahill

That's a very nice set though I imagine it will be next to impossible to find a good 24" round metal, it's probably nearly as rare as a 30BP4!
Regardless I'd rather have it sitting in my house non functional than "repurposed" into anything.

Believe me that if I could get it I would. Please, somebody rescue it.
I think you can eventually find a working tube. I wonder how the tech knew the vertical circuit wasn't working.... I think that set's worth saving..... Bill Cahill ...........Fish tank, INDEED!!!!!........................

This tube shows up in the GE and Tung-Sol tube manuals, maybe others.

I saw a 24" B&W Roundie at a local collectors house some years ago, I think it was a Muntz?

Manny years ago I had a 24" round Stromberg Carlson. They do exist, and, I'm convinced this is one of that size. I think it should be saved. Not made into a fish tank.

RACS had a few up in the attic as well, but there's no interest in having them made since the sets are so rare to turn up. I doubt many were ever sold.
