As you have probably worked out I found the model number and I have sent photos to Brad. This is actually the one that appears in radio museum. |

I was about to say it looks like a Philips / Mullard, but I can see Stromberg-Carlson stamped on the back. |

I've got a Stromberg Carlson mantle radio in storage waiting for me to get inspired. |

Well I finally got started on this one. Recapping was reasonably simple but a tired wannabe tech ended up accidentally cutting a resistor pig tail and creating a intermittent dry joint. good thing I remembered the old chopstick trick on how to find faults lol. The cut pigtail was hidden under other components. The question I have is this. What do you guys do stop a speaker from polling?     |

And yes the power cord has been replaced with a new 3core and cable gland as I reckon they are the bees knees. |
