Stromberg-Carlson 320-T
#1

This was an antique/junk store find.  The sewing cabinet table contains a 320 Chassis and the combination is a 320-T manufactured around 1938.  There is a 1938 advertisement that describes it as a replica of a sewing table found in "Furniture Masterpieces of Duncan Phyfe" and made of Honduras swirl mahagony.

The front has a nasty break that was "fixed" at one point and has failed again.  I'll also have to fashion up an escutcheon somehow since the original is crumbling.

The rest of the cabinet is in reasonably good shape and should refinish nicely.

The chassis was very dusty but also has had some work done to it in the past.

This set uses a battery as a bias and a "replacement" Ray-O-Vac had been soldered in.  There is a white pincher like device that is also connected to the same place the battery is so I suppose that it was the holder for the original bias cell although I have never seen one before.

At this stage I'm just cleaning off the years of grime and taking out the old dried up tuner and speaker mounting rubber.  I'm waiting for an order from Renovated Radios for some replacements.
