Yes, thanks, it is that!

Funny thing, the Strombergs seem to have a cult following. Those who love them have reacted like you, those who don't are unimpressed.

Judging by the circuitry I would have to agree that it is similar to the RCA line in that they used a four-gang tuning cap and LOTS of caps/coils/xfrmrs to maximize the reception/selection. I also like the additional AVC and bass circuitry that is above what is normally seen.

A friend of mine who is into them and actively seeks them out stated that he has never seen another one and believes that they are a low-production model. But again, I have no info on that.

I have only had a couple of them in the last 40+ years and the ones I had I sold or traded soon after I got them. But this one I may end up keeping. I'm a sucker for lots of tubes/bands/bass boost/watts output.

I believe that this was their top-end set for 1936-37, but info about them is sparse at best.
