In reply to Steve. There’s a pretty good schematic on radiomuseum. Shows two mic inputs and a phono.

Hi, I’m refurbishing a No. 20, but the front controls are “Volume” “Motor pitch” and “Rate of Fire”?!? Appears to have only one microphone input on the back. I hope I can figure out the controls from the schematic/tracing wires, but any insight to the history of these three controls would be welcome.

Hi
I’m looking for the schematic for a stromberg Carlson amp That is in a kodascope fs-10, 1940’s. It has three 6v6 and a 1/4″ plug set up. I’ve replaced the waxy caps and grounded with a three prong power cord. Plugged in my guitar, this has that early tone I’m loving. Need the schematics.
Any help would be appreciated.
Steve. 707-758-6028

I worked for 41 years for an audio Co. that was a franchised Stromberg Distributor and we had the complete line of industrial sound . I did repairs on all of the amplifier line and also the school sound consoles that were installed in the mid and later 1950’s. They had a WONDERFUL LINE of products.

I grew up in the 50’s around SC as well as Webster Teletalk and RCA. Stock barns to churches, hospitals to high schools. But Dad would never do clubs. Sometimes they’d get his number at home on a Saturday night. He responded over the phone in a manner that guaranteed they never called back. Thank you Chris for the memories.

In reply to Bud. hi bud. did you DL the catalog from the site? the info might be there. S/C did not make mikes, they re-branded existing models, so whatever you have, chances are it's a common model. send me a pic. c.

Awesome site. My dad was one of those thirty retired, cranky, old men who would have loved this stuff. He was a huge Radio buff, enthusiast, proffessional, obsesive compulsive nut when it came to the impact and history of audio recording on society; he made it his life’s work. I think he had about 4 friends he could call and really talk shop with about this kind of stuff, not because he was so much more educated than them, he only had about 4 friends and I think this is what they bonded over. It’s a trip to see how in less than 10 years of him passing, the internet would be able to connect so many more people with similar interests. I guess its kind of obvious because that is what the internet does, but its still neat to stumble across a page that would have peaked his interest and sparked conversation for him.

Any way, I’m looking for information on a Stromberg Carlson microphone he had, but all I have is a picture and the description” SC 10,” which isn’t helping me find anything. Do you know how I can find out more information about this microphone?
