By all accounts, Stromberg-Carlson had a peerless
reputation for quality and design. Yet, and it must be said, this
example of the late 1930's 'picnic portable' does not seem particularly
superlative. It has a face of plain materials and undistinguished
design. Reading around, it would seem that the industry was in an early
phase and most portables of this vintage looked similar.
It has a sliding power changeover switch (battery/mains), accessed from the rear and the fron panel opens, tilts and slides under the chassis to make the front look a little 'cleaner' when the set is in use.
