Here's a 1948 Stromberg Carlson radio/record player that my girlfriend bought a few years back with hopes to restore it. At the time the tubes glowed but that was about it. She was told by the seller she should probably gut it and use the cabinet. No Way! We found a furniture restorer in Freelton Ontario that does fantastic work on antique wood furniture and he farms out radio work such as this to a guy in Hamilton. Between the two of them we got back a wonderful piece of history that is in 100% working order! Above the radio dial is a green indicator that's conical in shape and the glow on the edge is split and closes in as you tune in an AM station! Cool stuff! We just moved into a century home and last night we found an AM station playing old radio shows. It was kinda surreal but really neat.
