Presenting the Stromberg-Carlson 12A!
#10

I have good news and bad news about the Stromberg tonight. Took it to be worked on and we got rid of the rude noise issue, but now that I have it home it won't pick up stations on the high end of the dial unless I string out alot of antenna or hook it to something like a fan shield. Our local station is only five miles away at 1450 and it barely comes in now. I'm wondering if these radios were adjusted for the local area as my luck with TRFs is VERY hit and miss. My Victor RE-45 uses the earlier tubes, yet it sucks in the stations like a magnet! Looks like I am going to have to learn how to adjust these TRFs myself as I'm getting tired of them being adjust at a place 24 miles away and then coming home and the radios acting like they are in alien territory!

No matter where you go, there you are.
