My Trans-Oceanic collection.
#15

Hi Vlad95,

That Stromberg Carlson is beautiful, I’d say go for it! You likely won’t regret spending the money but you’ll likely regret passing it up and always remember the one that got away. This maybe explains why I have too many radios  Icon_smile

I just learned about TO radios and was lucky enough to pickup two at a radio swap meet yesterday, see attached. I hesitated on a beautiful Hallicrafters model at a booth then walked around another 15 mins and went back to buy it and it was gone! Anyway got these two Zenith units to add to my collection and restoration list. Thanks for inspiring me with your posts and pictures. George
