Hello everyone today I took a trip up to Michigan and picked up a 1930s Stromberg-Carlson Tombstone Radio that I need help finding a model number for it because all of the model number information tags are either damaged or missing from the radio and I know there's a website out there that you can use to find a radio model number by typing in the tube line up but I can't for the life of me remember the name of the website and I need this radio's model number to look up some service data for it for electrically restoring it, and also locating a replacement tuning dial for it because the original phoenolic tuning dial is broken and I need to replace it to help make this radio functional and complete again.
See pictures below.
Do any of you guys recognize this radio and what model it might be?
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks.

OK, yeah, I meant to say Stewart-Warner not Stromberg-Carlson, I tend to get those brands mixed up.

Really, I used to get Setchell Carlson mixed up with Stromberg-Carlson, but never mixed up either one with Stewart Warner. Stewart Warner was in Chicago (Belleville, Ontario in Canada) whereas Stromberg Carlson was in Rochester, New York (Toronto, Ontario in Canada). I don't think Setchell Carlson set were ever marketed in Canada, and they don't seem to have been as prolific in terms of models, or production, as either Stromberg-Carlson nor Stewart Warner. Stewart Warner used to manufacture speedometers and other dashboard instruments for cars, and even manufactured grease guns for a time, so car enthusiasts are familiar with the company, some are even surprised to find out that they got involved in the radio and TV business.

Well what makes me confuse all of those companies is that all three of those companies (Setchell-Carlson, Stromberg-Carlson, and Stewart-Warner) is that they all start with an "S" and so when you have 3 companies that are two name companies that are Hyphenated (or can be hyphenated depending on how they chose to write out the names) then it can be very confusing.

I have a question about this radio, is there anyone that has access to this radio that has an intact unmolested speaker that they can take a picture of for me or has a wiring diagram for the speaker on this radio? I'm asking because while I have access to an original Rider's service manual for this radio, it doesn't list resistance measurements or give wiring diagrams for things like the speaker, the power transformer or IF and RF Coils and it would be nice to have wiring diagrams for those, especially the speaker, because I think the speaker was miswired at one point in time and I want to be able to see a wiring diagram or a picture of an unaltered speaker in one of these radios so I can confirm if the speaker in this radio was miswired or not.
Thanks for your help
