I bought this beautiful Stromberg Carlson radio off of E-bay for a great price. It's one of the nicest radios in my collection. Immediately after winning the auction, someone e-mailed me and offered me twice what I had paid for it. The case is beautiful, with an original finish that has been well cared for.

The radio was sold as-is, and the seller said that it was completely dead. When I received the radio, it was dead, and the dial cord was broken. I re-strung the dial cord, and tested all the tubes in the radio. Sure enough, the 35Z5GT tube was dead. Once that was replaced, the radio worked great! It didn't even need any capacitor work. This one sits right next to my bed.
