SC Model 84 chassis front.jpg
1935 Stromberg Carlson Model 84 floor model. I have had this for years
but just yesterday I removed the chassis for the first time. It was stuck on the large rubber mounts and I had to saw them off with a long kitchen knife to get it out. I heard it was serviced in the early 80's and saw where 3 electrolytics were replaced. The repair guy removed the original chassis mount caps from the top. There was really no reason to do that except maybe to make a little more room or to show the customer that they actually did something. |

These sometimes leak and the chemicals corrode everything around them. Perhaps they were removed to prevent this. -- Jim Mueller To get my real email address, replace wrongname with dadoheadman.

Come to think of it, I did see some corrosion on the large candohm resistor - which was sitting under where those cans were mounted. |

I was told when I was younger that Stromberg Carlson radios were made here in Rochester NY. I know some companies had more than one location, but I am curious where yours was made. Resistance is not futile, it's voltage divided by current! |

Resistance is not futile, it's voltage divided by current! I'm pretty sure it was made in Rochester. As far as I know they only had one U.S. radio factory. They also made Stromberg Carlson radios in Canada but they had different model numbers and cabinet styles than the U.S. ones. Those were only for sale in Canada. I've seen Australian SC's too but they were made only for that market. |

Yet another Rochester company no longer with us. A shame. They had a reputation for making quality stuff. I should have remembered they made telephones too.

Resistance is not futile, it's voltage divided by current! This is my most prized radio. The quality is excellent. I drove through Rochester in the early 90's (I spent a month in N.Y. taking classes in Binghamton) and was amazed at how big Kodak was. It just went on and on . . . |
