Stromberg-Carlson

[William]

Here's two Stomberg-Carlson's to take a look at. One is completely restored that they are very proud of. The other very pricey too and looks to be restored but the owner claims it all original. Notice both claim they are from the 1940's. One has a 78 changer the other has a 4 speed Garrard.

Yikes, those old S-Cs don't come cheap, do they? Both are in good physical condition. And as to the changer, remember that the LP came out in 1948, and the 7: 45 around the same time. It was common to update your good console by adding a more modern changer. I have a '46 Philco that is in the same format as those two, and i has a Philco 4-speed changer, obviously an update.

I have one like the first one. Both use the model 1121 chassis. The 1946 models have octal tubes, the '47 and newer have a combination of octal and miniature tubes. Very good performing chassis, but, unfortunately, those horizontal console aren't worth near they asking price. Mine has a Garrard stereo changer, obviously newer than the console. If you want a robust performer, you can't go wrong with this model Stromberg-Carlson set.
