Stromberg Carlson 1101 restoration

[bandersen]

I decided to take a little break from TVs and restore this little AA6 bakelite radio.
I thought it was a model 1200 at first, but when I opened it up I found 6 tubes which makes it an 1101 from 1946 just like this one.

The cabinet has a couple scratches and some odd discoloration near the controls but is otherwise sound.

The chassis looks to be all original except for the tubes.


There is some discoloration and rust on the dial glass and painted backplate from where the pointer sat on AM 720 for probably decades.


The caps have nice Stromberg Carlson labels so i decided to restuff them. I used a heat gun to melt to old cap out and brown hot glue to seal in the new caps.
